Courses and Requirements
Students interested in majoring in German studies should consult with the department as early as possible. The department has seen a recent increase in the number of students who elect a double major in German studies and another department or program. Students majoring in other programs but wishing to pursue their study of German may also elect a correlate sequence, which requires six units of graded work in German. Course selection is made in consultation with the department. Vassar students graduating with a major in German studies have received numerous grants to study in Germany and have gone on to establish successful careers in law, medicine, business, international affairs, education, and government.
The German Studies Department also offers the opportunity to study abroad for either a semester or a year at universities such as Berlin, Munich, Mainz, Vienna or other cities in Germany and Austria.
