University Studies requires a student to obtain proficiency through the 201-level (equivalent to foreign language 211 at NCCCs) in a language previously studied or the 102-level (equivalent to foreign language 112 at NCCCs) in a second foreign language not previously studied. Students will demonstrate proficiency by completing a course at the 201 level or higher in a language previously studied or at the 102-level in a second foreign language. If you graduated high school 7 or more years before you enrolled at UNCW, an exception applies to you. Then you only need to complete a language course at the 102 level (or higher).
Students are encouraged to build the North Carolina Community College (NCCC) course recommendations below into the associate degree to best prepare for the intended university and major.

The University of North Carolina Wilmington strongly recommends students complete their Associates’ degree prior to transferring to UNCW.
The German Studies program fosters a critical understanding of German culture through the study of language, literature, art, history, film, media and contemporary culture. The program also develops strong writing and communicative skills crucial for careers in journalism, public relations, teaching, governmental service, scientific research, pharmaceuticals and international commerce. In addition to courses taught by UNCW faculty, you can take German studies classes taught by faculty at other UNC System schools through the UNC Course Exchange. These courses are taught online or via live video conference.
A grade of “C-” or better is required in each course counted toward the major and a “C” (2.00) average or better for all courses counted toward the major. All majors must complete a series of German proficiency exams in order to graduate.
