Bachelor [German] From DePauw University

The department encourages all students to spend at least one semester in an approved off-campus program in a country where their target language is spoken. Students with training?in foreign languages and cultures?have an important edge in today?s increasingly international job market. They often go on to successful careers in banking and business, government and diplomacy, education, travel, the Peace Corps, telecommunications and social work, among many other fields.

In order to satisfy the Writing in the Major requirement for German, students must complete one 400-level course in German in addition to the senior seminar (German 415). In these 400-level courses, students will have a variety of writing assignments and opportunities to revise and reflect on their writing. Upon completion of the major, students should be able to write clearly in German for a wide range of audiences and in varied contexts, from informal correspondence through professional and academic discourse.
