 The department offers programs of study leading to
M.A. and M.A.T. degrees in German. Areas of specializa-
tion are German literature, Germanic linguistics and
medieval literature. In addition, sufficient courses are
available for a graduate minor in Russian. The graduate
program is designed to prepare students for careers in
teaching, business, research, journalism, and diplomacy.
 The prerequisite for admission to graduate work is an
undergraduate major in the field, including advanced
courses in both literature and language. Qualified can-
didates with B.A. degrees in other disciplines will be con-
sidered. A good foundation in a second language is
desirable.
