Requirements:
The requirements for a Major in German are: 24 credits beyond German
202, (6 credits of conversation and composition, 6 credits of culture,
6 credits of literature, and 6 credits of electives). Study abroad and
other transfer credits can be used but a minimum of 14 credits must be
taken at The University of Akron.
Important Note: You must also satisfy all
university and college requirement--42 credits of General Education courses
and a total of 47 credits in 300 and 400 level courses (including those
taken for the major but not including General Education courses or workshops).
What do I take next?
After you complete German 202 you should take German 301 and 302 -
Conversation and Composition.
Note: If you finish 202 in the Fall, you
can take 302 next and then 301 (301 is not a prerequisite for 302).
After 301 and 302 you may take any other German courses.
Careers in German:
Language majors often become teachers or language specialists for government
agencies (translating, interpreting, etc.). In addition a language major
is often combined with another field for international business, social
work, missionary work, etc. Since almost any career you choose will involve
either: certification, graduate studies, a minor, or a second major, it
is important to talk to Dr. Stephanie Grollman as early as possible about
career plans.
In order to attain the level of proficiency necessary for many jobs it is almost indispensable to spend some time studying or working where the language is spoken. We have files of information on work, volunteer, and study abroad programs which should be a part of your career plans.
