GRMN 4500, “Intercultural Seminar” is the only required language course. GRMN 4500 functions as the capstone course for the B.S. ALIS degree.  Students should plan to take this course in their last spring semester before graduation and upon completion of the required study abroad credits. Please consult with advisor on scheduling for the required GRMN 4500 course. Note that a student with a valid scheduling conflict may substitute GRMN 4699 (Undergraduate Research) for GRMN 4500 (Intercultural Seminar) with approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies and/or Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies. Valid scheduling conflicts include co-oping, interning, or studying abroad in the spring semester of one’s senior year or needing to take another required major course in the same time slot in one’s senior year.

Students are required to complete at least 39 credit hours of upper division coursework overall.

A minimum of 6 credits from the 3000 or 4000 level German ALIS Major Requirements must be completed abroad in German. A student may petition to have the 6-credit study abroad requirement reduced or waived under circumstances of extreme hardship or in the event of program cancellation. If approved, the student would substitute the overseas experience with a comparable cross-cultural experience as approved by the Program Director, Director of Undergraduate Studies, and/or Assistant Director of Undergraduate Studies.
