Study Abroad/Internship AbroadÌýIt is required that all German Studies students participate in at least one regular semester of study abroad or internship (3-4 months minimum) in a German-speaking country. Please note that no more than 15 hours of transfer credit (from study abroad or from other US institutions which are not a part of UNC-Online) may be applied towards the core courses in German Studies (core: required courses, departmental electives, WLGE electives I and II, and advised electives I and II). WLGE 499 is an internship course with up to 6 credits. For students who choose study abroad instead of an internship, WLGE 499 serves as a placeholder for transfer credits from the study abroad semester. Students in the Science and Technology concentration who study abroad must take a 3 credit course related to their other major, taught in German.

Study Abroad/Internship Abroad

It is required that all German Studies students participate in at least one regular semester of study abroad or internship (3-4 months minimum) in a German-speaking country. Please note that no more than 15 hours of transfer credit (from study abroad or from other US institutions which are not a part of UNC-Online) may be applied towards the core courses in German Studies (core: required courses, departmental electives, WLGE electives I and II, and advised electives I and II). °Â³¢³Ò·¡Ìý499 Internship in Germany, Austria, or German-Speaking Switzerland is an internship course with up to 6 credits. For students who choose study abroad instead of an internship, °Â³¢³Ò·¡Ìý499 Internship in Germany, Austria, or German-Speaking Switzerland serves as a placeholder for transfer credits from the study abroad semester. Students in the Science and Technology concentration who study abroad must take a 3 credit course related to their other major, taught in German.
