One of the two courses Origins of German Critical Thought I and II, GERM-GA 1115 and GERM-GA 1116, are required of all degree candidates in the department. The academic progress of each student is reviewed and evaluated after the second semester of study by means of a 60-minute consultation.

Students who pass this review process are permitted to continue course work toward the Ph.D. degree.
