University graduates with degrees in German frequently enter the teaching profession.
They also find positions in government, foreign service, and commercial enterprise. The following course sequences, or their equivalents, are required for students who begin a major in German with no previous experience in the German language. See the German department undergraduate adviser for details. At least five upper-level German courses must be taken at The University of Iowa. Students who have upper-level course work from other institutions should consult with the German Department undergraduate major adviser to determine how much work remains for completion of the major.
