a. Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
The German Major currently offers
five different options. Those are:
Option I Language and Literature
Option II Civilization and Culture
Option III Period Studies
Option IV Area Studies
Option V Linguistics
A few years ago, these different
options were created in order to offer students a broad variety of choices and
concentrations. However, in reality this concept never worked. Students—and
their advisors—found the different options confusing and unnecessary. The
overwhelming majority of students thus choose option I, and the proposed new “one-size-fits-all-major”
reflects this current practice. This major which
maintains the same number of courses and credit hours makes excellent use of
the existing courses, yet it also provides enough choice for students.
