General requirements

Applicants to the MA program in German Studies should have fulfilled requirements equivalent to those for the Bachelor of Arts degree in German Studies at the University of Washington. These requirements include advanced proficiency in the German language and knowledge of the modern periods of German literature and civilization. An applicant who does not fully meet these requirements or their equivalent may be admitted at the discretion of the department, provided the applicant agrees to attain competency in these areas by completing preparatory class work before commencing the graduate program.
Applicants who are not admitted to the department may improve their preparation by taking courses in the department through the Extension Program on a non-matriculated basis. Application for non-matriculated graduate status is made to the Graduate School on a form available from the department.
