All students are required to complete the following for the Master's degree in German:
- 30 hours of graduate credit (plan B) or 24 hours of credit with
the presentation of a Master's thesis (plan A), both plans with
at least 24 graduate credits in German;
- reading knowledge of a second foreign language; this requirement
can be fulfilled by one of the methods given in the Graduate School
Bulletin.
- a comprehensive written and oral examination.
It is strongly
recommended that graduate students pass the Zentrale Mittelstufenprüfung
of the Goethe Institute in their first year of study. The Goethe
Institute examinations are usually given on the UK campus each year
in March or April.
Students will be required to complete at least 24 hours of course
work in the department. The GER 653 course required of teaching
assistants and courses taken to fulfill the second foreign language
requirement do not count towards the completion of the 30 (plan
B) or 24 (plan A) hours of graduate course work.
At least half of students' course work has to be at the 600 level
or above, and 24 hours have to be in courses with the German course
prefix. Students are required to take at least one German course
during each semester they are enrolled in the German graduate program.
Each semester
students select from available courses in consultation with the
graduate studies advisor.
For a complete list of courses offered by the Department see the
UK Graduate
School Bulletin.
