German Minor

Banner Code: GRM

Web: german.gmu.edu

The emphasis of the minor in German is on developing strong language skills: oral communication and the reading of texts. Students are introduced to important works of German literature and to the culture of German-speaking countries.

A German minor can easily and effectively be combined with majors in other disciplines. It is especially valuable in combination with business, computer science, international studies, history, music, philosophy, or another language.

This program of study is offered by the Department of Modern and Classical Languages .

For policies governing all minors, see the Undergraduate Policies  section of this catalog.
