MAJOR: Due to lack of enrollment, the major in German has been discontinued at Villanova. Students who registered to have a major in German prior to August 21, 2008 may continue with their studies until they have fulfilled all course requirements. New majors are not permitted at this time. Those who are already registered are required to take ten courses above the intermediate level (1122). Once a sequence of language courses has begun, a student may not revert to a lower level course. This does not apply to upper level courses (above 1132). Junior and Senior majors must satisfy a one-semester research requirement by enrolling in either German 3212 or 3213.

MINOR: Due to lack of enrollment, Villanova is no longer accepting minors in German. Students who registered prior to August 21, 2008 will be allowed to finish their minor. For a minor in German, four courses above the intermediate level in the language are required.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures also offers literature courses in English translation. Such courses may be used to fulfill a Humanities elective; however, they may not be used toward credit requirements for a language major or minor. An upper level literature course in any language taught in the Department satisfies the advanced literature core requirement. At the same time, it may also count for the minor in a language. However, it may not count for both the advanced literature requirement and the major in a language, except in the case of double majors.

Students may obtain up to six credits through the Villanova summer programs abroad in Germany.
