The dual degree program combines an M.A.T. degree in World Language Education and an M.A. degree in German into a single and integrated program of study. The program also provides graduate students the opportunity to obtain the Graduate School Interdisciplinary Certificate in University Teaching. The program condenses a curriculum that would normally take four years into an intensive three-year program of study. Students enrolled in the program take a substantial number of content courses in German Studies and the complete curriculum in Foreign Language Education, including courses required for K-12 certification in Georgia. Qualified students will serve as Teaching Assistants in the Department of German Studies and gain significant discipline-specific training and German language teaching experience. Upon graduation, students will be ready to step into the classroom as certified and highly skilled German language teachers. ADMISSION AND DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
