German Studies Minor
Minor Description
The Minor in German Studies is interdisciplinary in nature. It combines the close study of German language, literature, history, and culture with broad humanistic inquiry into trends and structures of German-speaking societies. Four of the six required courses are taught in German on the Wesleyan campus, with other electives available as local classes or study-abroad coursework.
Students who minor in German Studies develop transferrable language skills along with cultural knowledge and understanding that will enhance their career opportunities in the global job market.
