Overview

The United States Military Academy at West Point major is designed to develop those starting from the beginner level as well as those with advanced German skills.

The goal of the curriculum and instruction is to produce cadets with very good communication skills in the German language. At the advanced level, cadets will focus on real-world news and documents, as well as literature and media. German Majors can reasonably expect an Interagency Language Roundtable scale of 2/2 (limited working proficiency), on the way to 3/3 (professional working proficiency).
