German Language Courses

German Language Sequence

Every semester, the German language program offers three entry-level language courses as part of the language sequence. You can find our current or upcoming course offerings for these entry-level courses here.

  • The “fast track” option: GER 604 + GER 612. This is an intensive course sequence that allows you to complete your language requirement in two semesters. 
  • The “slow and steady” option: GER 506 + GER 507 + GER 612. In this course sequence, students take more time to cover the basics. Students complete their language requirement in 3 semesters.

Intermediate “Bridge” Courses

When students finish the entry-level language classes, they then enroll in our Intermediate courses, which act as a “bridge” to advanced study in Germanic Studies.

  • GER 322D: Focuses on learning about German society from the perspective of the individual, while providing continued opportunities to improve grammatical competencies, spoken German, and literacy skills.
  • GER 332E: This course focuses on learning about German society and communities, while providing continued opportunities to improve grammatical competencies, spoken German, and literacy skills.

Advanced German Courses

Every semester, the German department offers a rotating selection of culture, literature, and linguistics courses for advanced students. See our current or upcoming upper-division course listings here.
