Deutsche Sommerschule am Pazifik

Graduate credits earned in German through the Deutsche Sommerschule am Pazifik can be accepted as in-residence credit at Portland State University only if taken after formal admission to the M.A. in Foreign Language program in German, to the M.A. in Foreign Literature and Language, or to the M.A.T. in German. Graduate credit earned at the DSaP prior to admission to either program is normally limited to 15 credits, in accordance with the University’s transfer regulations.

An M.A. degree in German earned solely by attendance at the Sommerschule normally entails four summers’ work plus thesis.
