German, Minor

We live in a truly global world where the leaders of tomorrow will dwell in and negotiate all transactions in spaces not claimed in exclusivity by a single people, language, or culture. Knowing German will help you become a truly global citizen. Successful completion of the minor demonstrates the attainment of intermediate to advanced proficiency in the language, as well as cultural understanding and agility. The minor also opens before you a fascinating cultural and intellectual world in and beyond the classroom with a myriad of opportunities to travel, live, and work abroad.

Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.

Students are required to take a total of five classes. These classes may include courses and language classes at or above the intermediate level in Dialogues of Civilization at NU.
