What will I learn?

If you want to major in German, Western Michigan University offers two options for you. The first is a language, literature and culture program leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. The second is also a language, literature and culture program, but it leads to a teaching degree from the College of Education and Human Development.Both options include a strong focus on German language and culture. Basic coursework covers fundamental, intermediate and advanced German, German life and culture, and German literature. To round out your program, you will choose electives with the help of your advisor. The education curriculum is similar to the arts and sciences curriculum, but provides additional training that will prepare you to teach German at the middle and high school levels.
