degree requirements for Rutgers Camden (apply to students entering in Fall

Studying a foreign language, literature, or culture
is an enriching experience and an important part of a general education,
even for students who stop short of achieving fluency in a new language.
Achieving proficiency in a foreign language not only has an immense practical
value in the increasingly networked world, it also opens whole new dimensions
and vistas in the mind.
German is the language of Germany, Austria, much of Switzerland, and other
parts of central Europe. With 121 million speakers, German plays a vital social
and economic role in the newly unified Europe. It is also the ancestral language
of more Americans than any other language.
The German Program at Rutgers-Camden offers courses in
all levels of German language, literature and culture. Courses taught in English
include German Literature in English Translation and German Cinema. German
Program faculty members are also scholars of international rank, carrying
out research in a variety of fields.
Majoring
in German is an excellent preparation for a variety of business careers,
for graduate and professional programs, (including law school), for teaching
careers at various levels, and for life as an educated and enlightened citizen
of the world.
