Curricular Action Notice: Modern Languages

1. Program Change Request: German Minor

Purpose and Nature of Change:

To allow GER 2205 Phonetics and Pronunciation to count toward the German minor as one of the three elective courses beyond GER 2202. GER 2205 was increased from 1 to 3 credits to satisfy NCATE requirements and to allow for more in-depth coverage of the subject matter. It is now a suitable course for satisfying the German minor requirements. The 40% upper level requirement for the minor is met with this change as well.
In addition, the course names for GER 2201 and 2202 are currently incorrect as listed in the catalog. The change proposed here corrects these.
