Students who enter the University with a background in the German language are strongly urged to continue their study of the language without interruption during their freshman and sophomore years. Prerequisites to Concentration. The cognate requirement may be met by selecting advanced courses from the related disciplines such as English, ancient or modern languages and literatures, linguistics, history, history of art, music, philosophy, or political science. Equivalent courses taken elsewhere may be taken in lieu of these, as allowed by the College and with the permission of the concentration advisor. Completion of preliminary work with distinction is a prerequisite to acceptance in the Honors concentration in German.
Admission is granted to qualified students as of the second term of the sophomore year.
Advising and Counseling. During the registration period at the beginning of each term, a representative is available in the department office to advise students about their course elections. A concentration plan in German is developed in consultation with and must be approved by Professor Paslick, the concentration advisor. Appointments are scheduled at 1213 Angell. All teaching certificate candidates should consult Janet Van Valkenberg whose hours are posted on the department bulletin board.
