If you took German in high school or have otherwise acquired a proficiency in the language, you may take a placement test to determine the appropriate course to enroll in. After successfully completing that course, you will receive credit for all lower-numbered courses—meaning that you might earn three to twelve extra course hours. The placement test is computerized and can be taken on a walk-in basis until the end of the registration/drop-add period. No grade is assigned for credit earned through advanced placement.
For more than a quarter of a century, MTSU’s German program has conducted an exchange program with the Germersheim branch of Johannes-Gutenberg Universität, which specializes in the study of foreign languages and the training of language teachers, interpreters, and translators. Each year, MTSU sends up to four students to Germersheim for a semester or the entire academic year. Students receive 12 hours of upper level German for each semester.Germany is the European Union’s #1 economy and the world’s second-largest exporter. When you speak German, you’re speaking the language of business for much of the industrialized world, which in turn means job opportunities abound for the focused, fluent speaker.
