Major (BA, BS) or Minor

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 BA and BS 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.

Pathways

• History and politics
• Philosophy
• Art, design, and music
• Storytelling and writing
• Cinema
• Gender and sexuality
• Study abroad in Germany
  • General guidance
  • Business
  • Science

Individually customized pathways combining these themes—or others—are also possible in consultation with a faculty mentor or the department advisor.

The pathways above are designed for majors but may be modified for students in the Ger/Scan Studies minor. Special arrangements can also be made for students studying Swedish.
