Marburg, Germany - Course Descriptions - German Language and Elective (GLE)

Read the full description for the German Language and Elective (GLE) track.

Required Courses

During the first six weeks of the program, students will take an intensive German language course and the German culture class. Students will take a placement exam in order to determine the appropriate language level.

SubjectNumberTitle
German German Language
Culture 200/300 level German Culture


Electives

All electives meet for 48 contact hours. Courses are taught either entirely in English or both in English and German. For the courses with both languages, a two-hour lecture weekly will be in German, with four tutorials each week in English to cover what was in the lecture as well as new information. The dual language courses are appropriate for students at all levels of German. Because students will have had an intensive German course prior to the start of the electives, sitting in on the German lecture is recommended as a way of improving language skills. Generally grades are given for oral work (presentations, performance in class, etc.; 60% of the grade) and written work (reports, bibliographies, homework, essays, etc.; 40% of the grade).
