The Bachelor of Arts in Germanic Languages and Literatures at the University of Virginia's College of Arts and Sciences offers rigorous study in German language, literature, and culture. Students complete at least 30 credits (generally 10 courses) at the 3000 level or above in German. Required courses include Introduction to German Studies (GETR 3330), core courses in grammar and literature (e.g., GERM 3010, 3110 or 3120, 4600), and electives. The curriculum emphasizes both language proficiency and a deep exploration of German-speaking cultures, with flexibility for interdisciplinary study in related fields. Up to 12 credits may be transferred with prior approval. The program strongly encourages study in modern German history and offers individualized advising for focused areas of concentration.
