German A.A. Degree (11400.AA)
School of Humanities and Liberal Arts
German is one of the major world languages, and in spite of the relatively small size of the countries where the language is spoken officially, has had a disproportionate impact on many fields of knowledge, such as the sciences, philosophy, music, business, religion, and politics, among others. German is most effective when combined with other subject areas and thus makes a useful addition to majors in international business, international studies, religion, music, literature, and the travel industry, for example. The German program is a typical transfer program and it is recommended that the student take as many classes as possible in order to develop a high skill level which will serve to give him or her the extra edge in the job market.
For an Associate of Arts Degree in German students should meet the graduation requirements and complete the 22-unit curriculum as listed below. The courses listed below must be in addition to the basic graduation requirements.
