Bachelor of Arts in German

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Arts degree in German provides instruction designed to develop competence in oral and written communication; insights into language form, usage and meaning; and knowledge of German literature, cultural history and contemporary issues. Additionally, students will be introduced to basic skills in German-to-English translation.

The flexibility of the major makes it easy to combine with a second major, such as the History, International Relations or Political Science major or another foreign language major.

Students wishing to teach may combine the German major with the Education minor to prepare for multi-age (K–12) teacher licensure in Ohio.

Program Learning Outcomes

Graduates of this program will be able to:

  • Perform language tasks at intermediate high and advanced low levels of proficiency as described by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) Proficiency Guidelines. Proficiency, in ACTFL terms, is understood to describe a range of qualities rather than an absolute norm and will vary according to task type, language function, topic, skill (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and so forth.
  • Contribute to most informal and some formal conversations with sufficient accuracy, clarity and precision to convey their intended message without misrepresentation or confusion.
  • Read a wide variety of texts written for native speakers of German and not edited or adapted for non-native speakers.
  • Compose routine social correspondence and write cohesive summaries, narratives and descriptions of a factual nature in German.
  • Demonstrate an historical knowledge of German history and culture and understand the diverse nature of culture throughout the ages.
  • Discuss cultural differences, distinguishing between fact, opinion and stereotypes.
  • Communicate effectively and sensitively to diverse ethnic and cultural groups.
  • View concepts, issues, events and themes from the perspectives of diverse ethnic and cultural groups.
  • Esteem diversity.
  • Maintain an ongoing assessment of their own cultural values and behaviors.
