Study 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 other US Institutions which are not a part of UNC-Online) may be applied towards core courses in German Studies (core: required courses, departmental electives, FLG electives I and II, and advised electives I and II). FLG 499 is an internship course with up to 6 credits. For students who choose study abroad instead of an internship, FLG 499 serves as a placeholder for transfer credits from the study abroad semester.

Study 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 other US Institutions which are not a part of UNC-Online) may be applied towards core courses in German Studies (core: required courses, departmental electives, FLG electives I and II, and advised electives I and II). FLG 499 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, FLG 499 Internship in Germany, Austria, or German-Speaking Switzerland serves as a placeholder for transfer credits from the study abroad semester.
Career Opportunities
The expansion of international relations makes the knowledge of world languages a critical need for today’s professional. The student of world languages is not limited to teaching, translating or interpreting. There are careers in politics, diplomacy, commerce, business, agriculture, science, and research in which a thorough knowledge of world languages and cultures is crucial for success. The demand for multilingual personnel extends to all fields of human enterprise and will continue to grow in the coming years.
