Level III: Advanced German: German Stories, German Histories

Goals

Level III includes both the one-semester intensive (6 credits) and the two-semester non-intensive (3 credits each) courses within the German Department’s nationally recognized integrated curriculum “Developing Multiple Literacies.” The courses are designed to provide students thorough exposure to contemporary historical and social issues in Germany from 1945 to the present.

In Level III we explore the following themes:

• Theme 1: Deutschland nach 1945: Kriegsende, deutsche Teilung, Wiederaufbau
• Theme 2: Zwei deutsche Staaten (1949-1989)
• Theme 3: Der Fall der Mauer und seine Konsequenzen
• Theme 4: Deutschland: Unterwegs zur multikulturellen Gesellschaft

Courses in Level III include GERM-2001 (fall semester), GERM-2002 (spring semester), and GERM-2011 (intensive track, taught fall and spring).
