Major (B.A., B.S.) or Minor
Overview
Ger/Scan Studies offers a menu of customizable pathways through the language, literature, history, philosophy, music, art, politics, and societies of the region, plus personal guidance from a faculty mentor. Like all of our degree programs, it can be pursued by both B.A. and B.S. students and as either a major or minor.
Here are checklists of the major requirements and minor requirements, as well as a list of upcoming courses that count for the major. Please contact an advisor to declare a major or to ask any questions.
Students desiring advanced language ability should consider our regular majors in German or Scandinavian.
