Curriculum--The Major The German Studies major offers an interdisciplinary approach to German language, literature, and culture, including such areas as film, art, music, history, philosophy, and critical theory. Many students successfully combine their German major with a second major or concentration in another field. All majors participate in Macalester’s 6-month study abroad program in Berlin and Vienna, usually in their junior year, where they take courses at the Goethe Institute and the University of Vienna and frequently complete an internship. Majors are required to complete eight German courses beyond fourth-semester German (German 204). At least three and usually four of these are completed during the study abroad semester. It is possible to complete a German major even if a student begins German at Macalester. Students who take German 305 in the fall of their Junior year and participate in study abroad during the spring, can complete their major by taking three or four courses in their Senior year, to include two of the literature and culture survey courses (German 363-366) and the Senior Seminar (German 488). In addition to the eight German courses, majors must also take two courses taught in English: one with substantial German content offered by another department; and one in critical theory offered either by the German Studies department or another department.
