German

Students who complete a German major will gain an understanding and appreciation of German culture and civilization, past and present. They will comprehend spoken and written German to the level of understanding the classics of German prose, drama, and poetry. They either will have reached or will be well on their way towards reaching the linguistic and cultural capacity for engaging in intellectual discourse in written and spoken German.

Students who have some knowledge of German gained outside of Hunter College should consult Prof. Anderson, Prof. Kuhn-Osius, Prof. Nicolai, or Prof. Zimmerman regarding placement in the German major.
