This B.A. program offers instruction in German language, literature, and culture. GER 101,102 (or the equivalent) are prerequisites for GER 201 and for advanced-level courses. Upper-level courses provide in-depth study of German literature and cultural institutions and further development of linguistic skills.
    All students with more than one year of high school German are required to take a placement examination. This examination is given immediately before registration each semester. The requirement applies to all new Syracuse University students regardless of class standing or study elsewhere.
    Students should consult the program coordinator of German about their programs as early as possible. Early consultation is particularly important for students with little or no preparation in German so they may be sure to satisfy prerequisites and requirements within four years.

STUDY ABROAD
To become fluent in the language and to acquire direct experience with life in the countries where German is spoken, students are encouraged to study abroad for a semester or a year. Students choosing German as a major are encouraged to take advantage of SU Abroad World Partner options. For further information, contact the German program coordinator or Syracuse University Abroad, 106 Walnut Place (suabroad.syr.edu).

MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
The major in German consists of GER 202 plus eight upper-division courses taught in the target language.
