Descriptions
Students interested in acquiring proficiency in German can enroll
in language courses from beginning to advanced levels. In addition,
students may select from among the following programs: a major or
minor in language studies, a major in German
studies, a major in literature with an emphasis in German Literature,
or a major in global economics.
The sequence of lower-division courses 1-6 is aimed at enabling
students to gain proficiency in aural comprehension, speaking, reading,
and writing skills. Another sequence of lower-division courses,
equivalent to levels 1, 2, and 3, is courses 1A and 1B, offering
accelerated German language instruction. Courses 1A and 1B are taught
sequentially, winter and spring quarters. Instruction takes place
almost exclusively in German.
Information on these topics can be found under Language
Program.
The University of California maintains Education Abroad
Program (EAP) centers in Göttingen, Bayreuth, and Berlin, Germany.
Students may spend a spring semester in Göttingen (beginning German
language program or regular course study), a year in Göttingen (regular
course study), a spring semester in Bayreuth (intermediate German
language and culture program), or a year in Berlin (regular course
study). Students selected for the year-long program in Göttingen
may also elect to spend their second semester (the spring semester)
in Berlin. Language requirements for admission to these programs
range from little or no German required (beginning German program
in Göttingen) to one year of college-level German required (intermediate
German language and culture program in Bayreuth) to two years of
college-level German required (regular course study in Göttingen)
to three years of college-level German required (regular course
study in Berlin). The Bayreuth program courses may also be used
to fulfill the language requirement for the year-long program in
Göttingen. Selected students may continue directly from the spring
semester in Bayreuth to the one-year program in Göttingen.
Academic and professional internship opportunities are also available
to all EAP students in Germany.
Students may apply to any of these programs at any point in their
student career. For the year-long programs, students generally apply
in their sophomore year for a junior year abroad. As an exception,
some students apply in their junior year for a senior year abroad;
such students must sometimes spend an additional quarter at UCSC
in order to satisfy all requirements for their major. Courses taken
abroad can, with approval of an adviser, be applied to major requirements.
For more information on these programs, see UC
Education Abroad Program. For information on credit applied
to a major, contact the appropriate department.
