Program Information

The German minor at SDSU is a valuable option to complement any major, especially in people-centered professions that require constant interaction with individuals from various backgrounds. The minor offers flexibility, can easily be added to any major, is communication-oriented, and can be earned quickly when combined with a study-abroad or foreign internship experience.

Course Delivery Format

The German program offers flexibility and variety in the delivery of its courses. Some, including upper-division courses, are taught face-to-face. Others, including courses offered as part of the German cooperative program with USD are fully online, hybrid, hyflex, or delivered through Zoom or simultaneous television (Dakota Digital Network, or DDN).

Academic Requirements


There are no application requirements to enroll in the German minor. However, students with previous knowledge of the language must take the placement test and register for an appropriate course. Additionally, all the courses for the minor must be passed with a grade of “C” or better.
