German (GMN) Minor

The German language and culture program includes two‑plus years of German language study based on a communicative approach emphasizing listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, as well as cultural studies. In addition, there is the opportunity to participate in the St. Scholastica/Leipzig Exchange Program, an exchange of St. Scholastica students and students from the Leipzig Medical Training Institute in Germany (see STUDY ABROAD, General Information). All students with previous German study are required to take the Language Placement Test for placement into the appropriate skills section.

Minor: Minimum of 20 credits beyond GMN 1102, and including GMN 1103, 1104, 2201, 2202. Remaining credits may be fulfilled by any other GMN courses, LIS 3401 (Europe Today), or LIS 3202 (German Film offering) courses and Study Abroad option. All minors are required to participate in a summer language program abroad, preferably at the Goethe Institute (four weeks/4 cr.) or with the St. Scholastica/Leipzig Exchange Program (two weeks/2 cr.). Other credited study abroad programs may be substituted with permission of the instructor, who also reserves the right to substitute requirements when warranted.
