Course Description:

'' The German program provides students with the opportunity to develop communication skills in both written and spoken German along with an understanding of and appreciation for German literature and culture. Students developing linguistic and cultural proficiencies are challenged by a curriculum which includes a variety of courses in beginning, intermediate and advanced language, literature, cinema, culture, business and translation studies, as well as travel courses, independent study courses, and internship experiences.

Although many students choose to study German primarily for personal growth and intellectual enrichment, the program is designed to prepare students to enter a variety of careers in, for example, teaching, business, industry and government, and to provide a basis for further study at the graduate level. German language and culture studies are of great professional value in such ?elds as international business, communications, translating and interpreting, personnel work, public relations, management, education, music, art, philosophy, law, history, anthropology, theology, social work, politics and the travel industry. Furthermore, proficiency in a foreign language and understanding of other cultures are essential for peace and prosperity in a mutually interdependent world.

All students in the German program are strongly encouraged to spend as much time as possible in German-speaking cultures; to study a semester or a year at UW-Green Bay ’s German exchange university, Kassel Universität; or to participate in the summer travel course in Germany . Students have the opportunity to interact with German exchange students, attend film series and weekly German conversation tables, and to participate in a variety of German Club events and trips. The UW-Green Bay Language Resource Center has interactive audio-visual equipment, computers, and international television reception to support students’ language acquisition and cultural awareness.

Students majoring in German will also choose an interdisciplinary minor. Most German students interested in the humanities usually choose the interdisciplinary program in humanistic studies; students interested in teaching may choose an education minor; those interested in business often choose business administration; and those interested in communication fields or creative fields usually choose a minor in communication and the arts. Depending on their personal preferences and career goals, students may ?nd other interdisciplinary programs appropriate, such as human development or social change and development.
