The dual degree program connects an M.A.T. degree in World Language Education and an M.A. degree in German. The program also provides graduate students an opportunity to obtain the Graduate School Interdisciplinary Certificate in University Teaching, which can also be obtained independently of the dual degree program. The program typically involves four years 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 for the first two years of the program and will 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
