Note(s) on Requirements
- Courses offered by the German department taught in English count toward the German minor.
- Private reading courses do not normally count toward the minor.
Transfer of Credit Toward the Minor
The German language and literatures department will accept up to the equivalent of two full courses of transfer credit to count toward the German minor requirements. Two types of approval are needed. (1) Approval from the Office of the Registrar that the transfer course meets Oberlin’s transfer-of-credit eligibility standards and (2) approval from the department/program chair that the course(s) may count to the minor. Current students taking post-matriculation credit must secure this approval before registering for course(s). Students who enter Oberlin as transfer students will have their pre-matriculation credit evaluated by the Office of the Registrar for elective credit, and they can later seek approval from the department/program for applying coursework to minor requirements. Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Credit
AP/IB transfer credit received for GERM 300 may count toward the German minor, and is included in the two-full-course transfer of credit limit. Detailed Minor Requirements
