New German Course Focuses on Business, Management
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures has good news for UM-Flint students!
A new course, GER 120: Basic German for Business & Management, will start in Winter 2016.
This course requires no previous experience with the German language, and will focus on vocabulary and cultural practices from the German business world. Faculty member Elke Kramer explains that this is the “only course that allows you (students) to start German from scratch and with business German terminology right from the beginning.”
The course is open to all UM-Flint students.
Kramer continues, “Taking German for more than just the core curriculum requirements has a better look on the resumes. It allows HR to see that a student can actually communicate in German and has more to offer than just survival skills or intro level German proficiency.”
She also hopes that the focused curriculum will help students looking to find employment with one of the more than 350 German companies that operate in Michigan.
The class will be offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2:30-3:45pm. Visit sis.umflint.edu to register.
As an added bonus, any UM-Flint student who registers by December 13 will be entered to win one of ten $100 campus bookstore gift cards!
