The IUPUI German program trains students to achieve linguistic proficiency and intercultural competency in German. Linguistic proficiency is the ability to communicate orally and in writing about subjects of common knowledge in the target language. A step-by-step systematic progression of language courses aids students to achieve fluency in German and allows them later to concentrate on chosen areas of linguistic specialization.

To gain intercultural competency, students acquire a solid knowledge of contemporary life in the German speaking countries and learn to compare their institutions, customs, and mentalities with contemporary U.S. culture. Students also gain intercultural competency through critical knowledge of the historical and cultural movements and personalities that have had the most impact on contemporary culture in the German-speaking countries, especially Germany.

In addition, all students in the program have the option to study in Germany or Austria for a limited or extended period of time, or to gain practical career experience in business or technology by working as an intern overseas or in a local international corporation.

Courses in German not only broaden students’ cultural horizons by giving them immediate access to a key region of central Europe, but also prepare students for a variety of careers in international business communication, translation, travel, education, and technology exchange. By combining the study of another discipline with specialization in German, students can also prepare more thoroughly and adequately for interdisciplinary graduate studies.

The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in German (GER) requires satisfactory completion of the following:

• completion of general education and distribution requirements as indicated in the School of Liberal Arts section of the IUPUI bulletin that was current when the student declared a major in German.
• completion of a total of 29 credit hours, with a minimum grade of C in each course.
• Completion of a minimum of 15 credit hours in the German major at IUPUI

Students completing the German B.A. program will achieve the following:

Know

• structure of German (sound system, word and sentence structure) and its differences with the English language;
• main cultural manifestations of the language in literature, film and social practices; and
• main differences between contemporary German social structures and institutions and their own.

Understand

• the nature of language itself as a socially and historically created system of communication;
• the importance of critical thinking when examining other cultures and comparing them with one's own;
• the major historical and cultural events and movements that have contributed to shaping contemporary Germany and the other German-speaking countries; and
• the connections between language studies (language, literature, culture and translation) with other disciplines.
