 THE MAJOR IN GERMAN: A major in German
 may be obtained by either of two options:
 (1) The "Language and Literature Option"
 requires 30 semester hours of work in GER or GEW
 3000- and 4000-level courses. Major credit is also
 available for GET 2000 or GET 2001. Up to 15 upper
 division credits may be transferred from another insti-
 tution. No more than 3 credits can be earned in inde-
 pendent studies courses such as GER 4905.
 (2) The "German Area Studies Option" requires
 33 semester hours and combines professional with
 cultural/linguistic preparation. All participating fac-
 ulty have expertise in German area studies.
 The individualized Area Studies program is to be
 set up for interested students by the German Area
 Studies Coordinator. Up to 15 upper division credits
 may be transferred from another institution. No more
 than 3 credits can be earned in independent studies
 courses such as GER 4905.
 Majors are encouraged to take additional courses
 in other departments which support and enhance
 their knowledge of German literature and culture. We
 recommend that they enroll in UF's summer program
 in Mannheim, Innsbruck and the junior/senior year at
 the University of Bonn.
 HONORS IN GERMAN: A student majoring in
 German who desires to be graduated with honors
 should consult the honors coordinator in the German
 Department about requirements for the baccalaureate
 degree with honors, high honors, or highest honors.
 For graduation with honors, a student must attain a
 3.5 overall upper-division average. For graduation
 with high honors or highest honors, the student must
 fulfill an overall 3.5 upper-division average, and in
 addition, submit a thesis, a research project, or other
 creative work. Upon evaluation by the department or
 other responsible group, the student will be recom-
 mended for high or highest honors.
 THE MINOR IN GERMAN: To qualify for a
 minor students need a minimum of 15 credit hours in
 German in GER or GEW 3000- and 4000-level courses,
 i.e. five courses. Credit is also available for GET 2000
 or GET 2001. No more than 6 hours may be transfer
 credits and no more than 3 credits may be indepen-
 dent study (GER 4905).
 GENERAL EDUCATION: The Department of
 Germanic and Slavic Languages and Literatures is
 offering a broad range of General Education courses
 on language, literature and culture. While many of
 these courses require a good working knowledge of
 German or Russian, the Department would like to
 direct the attention of students interested in fulfilling
 the General Education requirement to courses taught
 in English.
 COURSES IN GERMAN: Students without prior
knowledge of German should take the sequence GER
1120 (4 credits), GER 1121 (3 credits) and GER 1122 (3
credits). The total of 10 credits fulfills the language
requirement of the College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences.
 Students who have had previous training in one
of the languages offered by the Department are
advised to take a placement test before registering.
 THE MAJOR IN RUSSIAN: A majoring student
needs a minimum of 30 credit hours, e.g., 10 courses.
Up to 15 upper division credits can be transferred
from another institution. 6 credits can be earned in
RUS 2200 and in RUT 2500 or RUT 2501. The remain-
ing credits should be from RUS/RUW courses on the
3000 and 4000 level. No more than 3 credits can be
earned in independent study (RUW 4905).
 HONORS IN RUSSIAN: An honors' candidate
must meet the foregoing requirements and, in addi-
tion, maintain a 3.5 GPA in Russian. For high or high-
est honors, students must obtain a recommendation
