A student enrolled in a degree program at MSOE may also earn a Minor in German Studies. Upon completion of this course of study, students would have solid communication skills in German and a strong understanding of German culture and history. A graduate with a minor in German Studies would be attractive to business and/or industry in that he/she would possess the marketable skill of a language other than English. Total required credits vary from 18 to 24, depending upon the student’s German language proficiency upon entering this course of study.
