If you are majoring in Germanic Studies with grade point averages of at least 3.5 in coursework in the department and 3.3 overall, you may apply for admission to the honors program. Ask for the recommendation of your instructor in a German course above G250 to apply for the honors program.
Your honors advisor recommends graduation with departmental honors in German on the basis of outstanding performance in the regular major program, in tutorials, and on the thesis. An honors designation is particularly valuable if you plan to apply to graduate or professional school.
