B.A. in German
The major in German provides instruction designed to develop competence in oral and written communication; insights into language form, usage and meaning; and knowledge of German literature, cultural history and contemporary issues.
The flexibility of the major makes it easy to combine with a second major such as history, international studies, political sciences, or another foreign language. Combined with the minor in education, the B.A. in German leads to multi-age (K-12) teacher licensure in Ohio. Majors traditionally pursue a liberal arts program, which can be used as a stepping-stone to advanced study or professional preparation in fields such as engineering, international business, medicine, and law.
Students interested in declaring a B.A. in German should contact the Department of Modern and Classical Language Studies, where advising is mandatory.
