The German minor consists of a minimum of eighteen hours of course work, including fifteen hours at the 2000-level and above. A student can begin work at any level, but must complete a minimum of one 4000-level course in residence at Texas Tech. Courses are offered in culture, language and literature. Courses taken in English (for example, GERM 3312, GERM 3313) count toward the minor, but cannot be counted toward the university foreign language requirement. Moreover, minors must take at least one course on the 3000 level which is taught in German. Usually only students within twelve hours of graduation may enroll for GERM 4000 Independent Study, with the consent of the instructor. For more detailed information, consult your Undergraduate Catalogue.

Students interested in a German Minor should contact the undergraduate advisor in German as soon as possible in their course of study to discuss their studies and to complete a degree plan.
