Requirements
German
Major in German Language and Cultural
Studies
To major in this area, a student takes nine courses above the
intermediate level (GER 4). Students majoring in German should take
advantage of our many language/culture courses taught solely in German
(GER 21, 22, 34, 44, 61, 62 and varying 100-level literature/culture
courses). A minimum of two 100-level courses taught in German (121 and
one literature course at that level) is required. One course in a
related field – to be approved by German program faculty - is also
required.

German Studies Major
This is an interdisciplinary degree, in which students can count courses
also from other subject areas, This program requires nine courses plus
one course in a related field approved by the German Program. The
program includes at least five courses above the intermediate level (GER
4) taught in German (for example GER 21, 22, 34, 44, 61, 62), including
two 100-level courses (GER 121 and one literature course at that level).
The remaining five courses should cover German subject matter taught
through at least three departments such as Art History, German, History,
Music, Philosophy, or Political Science. Courses taken in other
departments must be approved by the German Program for concentration
credit.

Tufts-in-Tübingen Program
Students for both majors or also from other disciplines can take
advantage of this unique opportunity to spend a semester or year of
their Junior or Senior year abroad examining the culture of
German-speaking countries within the larger European context. With
approval of the Tufts-in-Tübingen resident director, courses taken in
German at the University of Tübingen in areas such as
Politikwissenschaft, Volkswirtschaft, Geschichte, Volkskunde, Sozial-
and Kulturwissenschaft, Germanistik and Vergleichende
Literaturwissenschaft will count toward the concentration requirement of
nine German courses beyond the intermediate level (GER 4) and the one
course in a related field. Upon returning to Tufts-Medford, two 100-
level courses taught in German (GER 121 and one literature/culture
course at that level) will be required. If the student has not yet taken
an advanced literature course in German, the other 100- level course
must be in literature.
Minor in German
The minor requires 6 courses above the intermediate level (GER 4). These
must include two courses at the 100-level taught in German at Tufts in
Medford; one of them being GER 121.
Minor Forms, once completed, must be signed by either the Program
Director, Markus Wilczek, or the Language Coordinator, Saskia
Stoessel. Submit one signed form to the main office, Olin 326 and one to
Student Services in Dowling Hall.
