The State University of West Georgia currently offers a minor and we hope to add a major in the next couple of years. The change from quarters to semesters will allow us to offer more courses each semester which can count towards majors and minors. In addition to basic sequence courses, we will attempt offer either Conversation or Composition each semester. Some of these advanced courses will be cross-listed with Mass Communications or with Interdisciplinary Studies and will be taught in English. For credit in German, a negotiated amount of the readings and papers must be in German, and an additional weekly discussion in German will be held.
Overseas study is an important component of any major or minor in a language.
Three-month internships are also readily available. The type of work varies. Students work in banks, records stores, in government offices, in the planning of Porsche, and on in assembly for BMW, to name a few examples. We look forward to growth and innovation. Program goals emphasize proficiency, overseas study, and a diverse offering of courses in Culture, Film, and Literature.
