Meike G. J. Werner THE Department of Germanic and Slavic Languages offers programs of concentration in German and Russian. Students who major in German take courses in language, literature, and civilization. This program is unique in that students enroll directly in a German university with the full status of German university students. The Russian program has a special commitment to undergraduate training in all aspects of Russian culture and language. Many students find it beneficial to combine a Russian major with a second concentration in a related field.
Students have the opportunity to spend a semester or a summer studying in Russia.
Each student must also take 221 and 222 and at least 9 additional hours numbered higher than 222. Majors are expected to consult their advisers before registration each semester. In addition to the intensive language course, up to 4 hours may be taken in the department of Deutsch als Fremdsprache. Majors must take at least 6 hours of formal literature courses numbered 233 and above at the Nashville campus. And 3 hours in an approved social science elective within the European Studies concentration.
