该专业旨在作为中世纪文学和文化中的一门专业，所涉及的语言被视为工具而不是目的。内部的未成年人必须在中世纪文化中学习。德文文学要求的30-32小时的课程工作应包括对现代文学的充分研究，以使候选人为在第二和第三年级教授该领域的大学课程做好准备。
This major is intended as one in medieval literature and culture, and the languages involved are regarded as tools rather than as ends in themselves. The inderdepartmental outside minor must be taken in medieval culture. The 30-32 hours of required course work in German literature should include sufficient study of modern literature to prepare the candidate to teach college courses in this area at the second- and third-year level.
