It allows International studies majors to concentrate in German language, literature, and culture with a special emphasis on (trans)cultural analysis and critical thought. Students who declare either the track or the focus area will receive a double major in international studies and German, or a major in international studies and a minor in German.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">German Honors Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The German program offers an Honors program for highly qualified undergraduates. Students must have a minimum GPA of 3.5 to qualify for the program. In addition, they must have a faculty sponsor who advises the thesis as well as a second reader. The second reader can come from outside the German program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in the Honors Program should meet with a faculty member in the German program no later than the spring semester of their junior year to outline a research project to be conducted the following year. By April 1 of their junior year, they should submit to the Director of Undergraduate Studies an honors thesis title and a one-page proposal to review. The Director of Undergraduate Studies will then notify students if they have been accepted for the honors program. In the fall semester of their senior year, students will work closely with their faculty sponsor and the second reader familiarizing themselves with their topic and the secondary literature available on it. At the end of the fall semester, honors students will submit a complete bibliography and a 4-5 page summary of the progress of their research. In the spring semester, they will then write their honors thesis, which should be 25-30 pages in length. In both the fall and spring semester of their senior year, students will sign up for a two-credit independent study with their principal advisor. Honors theses should be submitted no later than the week following the spring break. A student earning a B+ or better on the thesis will graduate with honors in German.\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BA\/MA Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The department offers highly qualified students the option to complete a combined degree in five years. To receive the BA\/MA degree, the student must complete advanced courses in German literature and pass the departmental written and oral master\u2019s examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students interested in this option should make an appointment with the Director of Undergraduate Studies no later than the spring of their junior year to discuss the options available to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students who entered Johns Hopkins in the current academic year should refer to the Academic Catalog for a current list of major requirements.
