Saint Louis University's microcredential in intermediate German consists of six required credit hours. Satisfactory completion of the required courses would allow the student to develop the skills to conduct intermediate-level communication in German through the acquisition of appropriate vocabulary, grammar, reading, writing, listening comprehension, speaking capabilities, and an introduction to German-speaking culture.
The microcredential in intermediate German aligns itself with all other programs in SLU's Department of Linguistics, Literatures, and Cultures in that it is designed to help students gain a broader understanding of themselves, as well as the languages and cultures of others. This inherently fosters an understanding and appreciation for diverse perspectives and represents a crucial virtue in today's globalized world.
