GERMAN ADVISING
Chief Department Adviser:

To declare German as a major or a minor, see the Chief
Department Adviser (CDA) to sign up officially (this is a
quick matter and requires only one short form to be filled
out) as well as to review the requirements and set up a
course plan. The CDA can also help you with plans for
graduation, study abroad, graduate school, or career.
The bulletin board across from 158 Irvin contains
information about graduate programs, career advising, study
and work abroad, and department activities.
A file drawer of study and work abroad information is
available to you in the anteroom to 130 Irvin.
CAREERS
Students who have graduated in recent years from Miami with
a German major or minor have gone into careers including
government service, international business or marketing,
international banking, librarianship, and, of course,
teaching. Others have gone into careers unrelated to
German, but have found ways to make their German competence
relevant and report that they have traveled to Europe for
their firms or used their abilities in German-language
correspondence.
The Career Planning and Placement
Office (CPPO) maintains a library of reference
works in 228 Hoyt. This office also sponsors a wide
variety of workshops on resume writing, interviewing
skills and career choices. The announcements of the
CPPO are posted on the GREAL bulletin board.
