German Studies Minor


Banner Code: GRMS
Web: german.gmu.edu

College: College of Humanities and Social Sciences

The emphasis of the minor in German Studies 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 Studies 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.
