German

Required for the German Major

  1. Sixty units beyond German 202, including German 285 and 312. At least half of these units must be taken at Lawrence, and 24 units should be at the 400 level or above. Only 12 units taught in English may count toward the major, but tutorials taken in conjunction with English courses may count as German credit.
  2. Students will complete a capstone project as an independent study in conjunction with a departmental course taken during their final year at Lawrence.
  3. Students who expect to graduate will present a portfolio by the second week of their final term. The portfolio will be reviewed and approved or returned to the student for revisions before the end of the term. The student's advisor and one other member of the department will review a portfolio consisting of the following materials submitted as hard copy and on disk:
    • a brief statement in which students evaluate their development as German majors
    • a list of courses taken for the major
    • three sample pages of Lesejournale from all German courses numbered 300 and above taken at Lawrence
    • four papers from upper-level courses, two of which may be from courses taken abroad
    • a copy of the capstone paper

Required for the German Minor

Thirty-six units beyond German 202, including German 285 and 312. At least half of these units must be taken at Lawrence, and 12 units should be at the 400 level or above. Only six units taught in Engish may count toward the minor, but tutorials taken in conjunction with English courses may count as German credits.

A C average in the minor is also required.
