GRMN 1530 (formerly GRMN 2290) — Business German: A Micro Perspective

This course is intended as a continuation of Business German I (GRMN 1520), but may be taken without having participated in GRMN 1520. Prerequisites are a very good working knowledge of grammar and an awareness of German stylistics. Its principal goal is to prepare the student for a job with a German-speaking firm in an increasingly global workplace. This content-based course emphasizes vocabulary from business and technical sources and its application by means of oral and written presentations on themes pertaining to German-American economic relations.

The prerequisite for participation is GRMN 1500 (formerly GRMN 2100).
