In addition to German fluency, students learn how to apply that fluency by studying German culture, literature, customs, and history.<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin has a strong German heritage and many students find it both professionally useful and personally satisfying to explore the State's German influences. Many may come into college having already taken German in high school. Students can take a placement test to determine their starting course and may be able to earn retroactive credits if they place above the level of <span class=\"sc_courseinline\"><span class=\"code_bubble\" data-code-bubble=\"GERMAN 101\">GERMAN\u00a0101<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n<p>Fluency in German can provide a career advantage in all types of industries where Germany and other German-speaking countries are leaders: finance, marketing, manufacturing, politics, government work, electronics and technology, chemical and biochemical, environmental science, and architecture. At 51ÁÔÆæ, language students receive an education in not just language fluency but also in the culture surrounding that language. Context matters in communication, and we believe it is important for students to understand the history, literature, and customs of native speakers of German in order to successfully apply their fluency.<\/p>\n<p>Students are encouraged to participate in 51ÁÔÆæ's well-established\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uwm.edu\/cie\/study-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\">study abroad<\/a>\u00a0program. Destinations are available in more than 70 sites around the world and vary in length from a few week immersion, to semester-long, to even a full year. Because of the complexities of planning a study abroad experience, students are encouraged to start planning early in sophomore year. Most students engage in study abroad during the second half of sophomore year or during their junior year.<\/p>\n  \n\n<\/text>\n\n\n    <div id=\"program-details-jump\">\n        <a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--s\" href=\"#program-details\" rel=\"\">Jump to Program Details <i class=\"uwm-u-pl-10 fa-solid fa-arrow-down\"><\/i><\/a>\n    <\/div>\n\n    \n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-row uwm-u-mt-50\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Type<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>Minor<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n        \n                    <div class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-offset--2\">\n                <h2 class=\"size-h6 uwm-u-my-10 uwm-u-pt-10 uwm-u-border--top\">Program Format<\/h2>\n                <p class=\"size-h4 uwm-u-mt-0\">\n                    <strong>On Campus<\/strong>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"intro-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-mini-rfi uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--gold uwm-p-card--shadow\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n                <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                    <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Request Information<\/div>\n                    <div id='form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>Loading&#8230;<\/div>                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-u-flex uwm-u-flex--wrap uwm-u-flex--left uwm-u-mt-40\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/undergrad-admission\/apply\/\" rel=\"\">How to Apply<\/a>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--gold uwm-u-mr-20 uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/world-languages-cultures\/students\/undergraduates\/german\/declare-a-german-minor\/\" rel=\"\">Declare a Minor<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<script async='async' src='https:\/\/admissions.uwm.edu\/register\/?id=47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3&amp;output=embed&amp;div=form_47e36b1a-64dd-41ea-a6b5-b9deba75dca3'>\/**\/<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\"><hr class=\"uwm-c-hr--thick uwm-u-m-0\" \/><\/div>\n  \n\n\n\n<section id=\"program-details\" class=\"uwm-u-py-80\">\n    <div class=\"uwm-l-container--base\">\n        \n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div id=\"details-main\" class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n\n<div class=\"uwm-p-tabs\" data-tabs-prefix-class=\"uwm-p-tabs\"><ul class=\"uwm-p-tablist\" data-hx=\"h2\"><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-german-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Requirements<\/a><\/li><li class=\"uwm-p-tablist--item\"><a href=\"#tab-german-advising\" class=\"uwm-p-tablist--link\">Advising<\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent\">\n<div id=\"tab-german-requirements\" class=\"uwm-p-tabcontent--pane\">\n<style>\ntable  {\n   font-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n}\n\t\n\n\t\n\th2, h3, h4 {\n\t\tfont-family: Helvetica, Arial, \"sans-serif\";\n\t\t\n\t}\n\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist tr:nth-child(even) {\n \t\t\t background-color: #f2f2f2\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_footnotes td, .sc_footnotes th, .sc_footnotes table {  border-left: none;\n  border-right: none; padding: 8px;}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist {\n\t\t\t\tborder-collapse: collapse;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.sc_courselist td, .sc_courselist th {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 1px solid #ddd;\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 8px;\n        min-width: 40px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.hourscol{\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: right;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t .hidden.noscript{\n\t\t\t\/*\tdisplay: none; *\/\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t.areaheader, .symcol, .listsum {\n\t\t\t\tfont-weight: bold;\n\t\t\t}\n\n\t\t\t.HU { background-color: #ffce9c; }\n\n\t\t\t.SS { background-color: #f0e68c; }\n\n\t\t\t.NS { background-color: #ceefbd; }\n\n\t\t\t.OWCB { background-color: #ccccff; }\n\n\t\t\t.QLB { background-color: #ccffff; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h2>Requirements<\/h2>\n<p>The College of Letters &amp; Science requires that students attain at least a 2.0 GPA on all credits in the minor attempted at 51ÁÔÆæ.

for the minor takes place within the department by a faculty member or staff member. Follow the steps using the &quot;Declare a Minor&quot; button on the department\u2019s website which may include instructions on how to select a faculty advisor if there is more than one to choose from.<\/p> <p>Students who already have an L&amp;S college advisor because their degree plan is in L&amp;S can discuss the minor with them as well since they will be familiar with any minor in L&amp;S. Students who are working on a degree from a 51ÁÔÆæ college other than the College of Letters &amp; Science will not need an L&amp;S college advisor for just a minor and one will not be assigned. These students should work with the faculty or staff advisor they receive as part of the minor declaration process or contact the department directly for assistance.<\/p> <p>Applicants who have not started classes at 51ÁÔÆæ yet who wish to declare a minor should wait until they are registered for their first 51ÁÔÆæ classes and then can declare the minor using the \u201cDeclare a Minor\u201d button on the program\u2019s website. If you have questions about the minor before then, contact\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/advisingtext>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"details-sidebar\" class=\"uwm-l-col uwm-l-col--4 uwm-l-offset--1\">\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/letters-science\/ancient-modern-languages-literatures-cultures\/german-minor\/\" rel=\"\">Academic Catalog<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-buttons--full\">\n<a class=\"uwm-c-button uwm-c-button--full uwm-u-mb-20\" href=\"https:\/\/catalog.uwm.edu\/course-search\" rel=\"\">Schedule of Classes<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"uwm-p-card uwm-p-card--color-head uwm-u-mt-40\">\n        <div class=\"uwm-p-card--title\">Contact<\/div>\n        <div class=\"uwm-p-card--body\">\n            <div class=\"uwm-p-card--content\">\n                <h2 class=\"is-style-size-h5 uwm-u-my-10\">Prospective Undergraduate Students (not yet enrolled at 51ÁÔÆæ)<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">Prospective students, contact our admissions counselor at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:let-sci@uwm.edu\">let-sci@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:414-229-7711\">414-229-7711<\/a>.<\/p> <h2 class=\"is-style-size-h5 uwm-u-mb-0 uwm-u-mt-30\">Current Undergraduate Students<\/h2>\r\n<p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">General questions such as how to declare, how to change a major, general education requirements, etc. should be directed to the college advising office at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ls-advising@uwm.edu\">ls-advising@uwm.edu<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"tel:414-229-4654\">414-229-4654<\/a>.<\/p> <p class=\"uwm-u-mt-10 is-style-size-p-md\">Specific questions about German, such as research opportunities, internship opportunities, major requirements, etc., should be directed to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:maychu@uwm.edu\">Assistant Professor Karolina May-Chu<\/a>.<\/p>            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"author":1272,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_uwm_academics_program_template":"page","_uwm_academics_program_navigation":[],"uwm_academics_program_card_image_id":0,"uwm_academics_program_banner_image_id":24436,"uwm_academics_program_sort_title":"German Minor","uwm_academics_program_external_url":"","uwm_academics_program_jump_details_btn":true,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_programs_archive_page":false,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_programs_block":false,"_uwm_academics_program_exclude_from_department_page":false,"footnotes":"","uwm_wg_additional_authors":[]},"program_group":[151,86],"program_tag":[],"program_type":[18],"program_format":[27],"program_department":[],"class_list":["post-24402","program","type-program","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>World Languages &amp;
