Students may register for study abroad either for the
academic year, or for the spring semester (the German
"Sommersemester"). All majors (whether in German studies or German language and literature) are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester
abroad at a German university or FU-Best. Up to 18 credits (9 credits per semester maximum) may be credited
toward the major from courses taken during study abroad. Such credits are
assigned at the discretion of the undergraduate director of German on the basis
of materials (transcripts, Scheine, syllabi, tests, quizzes, and graded papers)
provided by the student after return to the United States. Students studying in Germany
are advised to remain in close contact with the undergraduate director of
German during their studies in Germany. The German studies senior honors thesis
option must be taken at Rutgers University–New Brunswick.
