Things to remember...

  • If you find a course in the program material that is not listed below, stop by the International Office. We will provide you with the forms necessary to obtain the Allegheny course equivalency.
  • Courses taken on this program are listed as University of Tübingen transfer credit on the Allegheny transcript; only courses with a grade of "C" and above will transfer; program grades are NOT factored into your Allegheny GPA.
  • Courses that have multiple equivalencies indicate cross-listings only; courses cannot be counted twice for graduation requirements.
  • Courses offered by the "International Sprachprogramme(ISP)" , the 'School for Foreign Students" may be found at http://www.uni-tuebingen.de/ABZ/english/abz_engl.htm
  • In general, courses taken in Tübingen, whether they are ISP courses or regular university courses, are eligible for GER equivalencies that will fulfill major or minor requirements at Allegheny IF THEY ARE TAUGHT IN GERMAN.
  • Student who are taking courses in an academic discipline other than German may obtain Allegheny equivalencies in the appropriate departments at Allegheny (e.g., “Cell Biology” would transfer as a BIO course). Students who take courses that do not fit into an Allegheny academic department, but which are appropriate for a liberal arts curriculum, must check with the International Office prior to registering for the course in Germany, to make sure the course can fit into one of the general divisional categories available for sponsored programs (Social Science OTE, Natural Science OTE, Humanities OTE). Subjects that fall into theses categories include Anthropology, Geography, or languages not generally taught at Allegheny.
  • **Credit is not normally given for a Vorlesung, unless it involves an individualized tutoring situation with examination. Students must arrange that tutoring with the instructor at the beginning of the course.
  • Allegheny has adopted the following grading scale: 1-2 in Tübingen = A at Allegheny College 3 in Tübingen = B at Allegheny College 4 in Tübingen = C at Allegheny College
Students may use the following chart as a guideline for determining the number of courses they will take. However, students are strongly encouraged to contact (email) the German Section Head once in Germany to verify final course choices.
