About
This is an online program.
Germany is a powerhouse of the European Union both in terms of population and economic stability, meaning that anyone wanting to pursue international business is at a significant advantage if they speak German.
The IU Online Bachelor of Science in German provides a rigorous curriculum that develops language proficiency, cultural facility, and professional competence in German. The curriculum includes quality coursework and extensive practice and application in the German language and German culture and will be of particular interest to individuals in the fields of business, science, education, the arts, and the social sciences.
As a student in the program, you complete one of two tracks:
- German for Science and Technical Communication (15 credit hours)
- German for Genealogical Research and Cultural Tourism (15 credit hours)
These tracks combine six credits of upper-level German coursework (counting toward both upper-level German language and track requirements) with three distinct courses taught in English for nine credits. These English-language courses are drawn from the fields of sustainability; communications; and tourism, events, and sports management and provide contexts and strategies to prepare students to use their German fluency in a variety of specific communication situations.
If you decide to pursue an advanced degree, the solid liberal arts foundation and suite of core German coursework will prepare you for admission to a wide variety of professional graduate programs.
