Major B

Major B combines resources of the Department of German Studies with a coherent selection from those of other departments and programs, such as Art History, Comparative Literature, Film Studies, Geography, Government, History, Jewish Studies, Music, Philosophy, and Religion. In principle, any relevant course in the Dartmouth curriculum that is approved by the Department of German Studies may qualify for this major. Requirements: six courses numbered 29 and above, including German 65 (German 42-47, which are in translation, require additional work in German). All three courses on the Foreign Study Program in Berlin count toward major credit. In addition, students take four advanced courses from among those offerings in other departments or programs that deal substantially with the culture of German-speaking countries. Just some of the courses that regularly meet this requirement are:

  • Art History 41: Northern Renaissance
  • Government 41: European Politics
  • Government 64: Modern Political Thought
  • History 51: Modern European Intellectual History, 18th and 19th Centuries
  • History 52: Modern Germany, 1848-1945
  • Music 33: 18th- and 19th-Century Western Art Music
  • Music 35: Beethoven in Context
  • Philosophy 15: Modern Philosophy: Hume and Kant
  • Philosophy 17: Existentialism and Phenomenology
