It offers a comprehensiveeducation in Dutch language, literature, cultural history, and linguistics.The Berkeley Main Library and Bancroft Library possess one ofthe richest Dutch book collections in the United States. Intensivecollaboration with Dutch and Flemish universities and culturalorganizations has made Berkeley a leading Dutch intellectual center inthe US. One course in the Dutch 160-series (may be repeated as topicschange)Learn about the language, literature, culture, and history of theNetherlands. Dutch Studies offers English-taught courses on Dutchcultural history, literature and linguistics, as well as Dutch languagecourses. Through a broad curriculum, students study important culturaldevelopments from the medieval towns in Flanders over the Dutch“Golden Age” and the Netherlands’ colonial expansion up to thecontemporary multicultural, liberal, and European identity of the LowCountries.Declaring the Major One course in the Dutch 170-series (may be repeated as topicschange) A maximum of two related upper-division courses outside of theDepartment (with approval by the Program Director)1. All courses taken to fulfill the major requirements below must betaken for graded credit, other than courses listed which are offered ona Pass/No Pass basis only. Other exceptions to this requirement arenoted as applicable.2. No more than one upper division course may be used tosimultaneously fulfill requirements for a student's major and minorprograms, with the exception of minors offered outside of the Collegeof Letters & Science.3. A minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 must be maintainedin both upper and lower division courses used to fulfill the majorrequirements.For further information regarding declaring the major, please contact theundergraduate adviser Nadia Samadi at germanic@berkeley.eduFor information regarding residence requirements and unit requirements,please see the College Requirements tab.Honors ProgramCourse requirement: writing an honors thesis (30-40 pages) is acommitment over two semesters. In the first semester, the student mustenroll in a 2-unit independent study (199; P/NP). In the second semester,the student must enroll in H196 (4 units). Students are urged to meetwith professors who might serve as thesis advisers prior to enrolling inGERMAN 199. The honors committee, consists of the major advisor andthe thesis director, approves the topic and evaluates the thesis.As flexibility and interdepartmental cooperation are of essentialimportance to the Dutch Studies Program, there are no requirementcourses for the Dutch major besides the Dutch language courses. Thisenables students to compose the Dutch major according to their personalinterests. It also makes it easier to add Dutch Studies as a double major.Due to the fact that the number of upper division courses offered in theDutch Studies program is limited, we strongly encourage studentsconsidering a a major in Dutch Studies to apply to the UC BerkeleyStudy Abroad Program. Furthermore, students who study abroad at aDutch or Belgian university can apply for equivalents to be counted to theDutch Studies Major, depending on approval by the Program Director."Minor ProgramLower Division PrerequisitesThe Dutch Studies Program offers a minor in Dutch Studies.

Each course in the program allowsstudents to learn about the Low Countries (the Netherlands, Belgium andLuxembourg) and to sharpen their view of world history, global problemsand transnational cultural connections. The program offers four levels ofDutch language acquisition in combination with a rich variety of Englishtaught courses dedicated to the culture, language, politics and history ofthe Low Countries. In cooperation with Summer Sessions, Dutch Studiesalso organizes an annual travel study course: The Amsterdam-BrusselsConnection.Learning Goals for the Major1. Dutch History is World History Through a broad curriculum, Dutch studies offers a criticalreflection on the multicultural past and present of theNetherlands. Few European countries have as profound alegacy as the Netherlands in both colonial and post-colonialstudies. Some of the best world literature has been written in theformer Dutch East Indies and in the Dutch-speaking Caribbean.Traces of Dutch influence can be found all over the world, fromJapan and Indonesia to South Africa to the United States, wherepresent-day New York City goes back to the former Dutch colonyof New Amsterdam.2. Dutch Politics are World Politics Dutch studies offers a critical reflection on the political past andpresent of the Low Countries. Few European countries haveas profound a legacy in freedom, liberty, and tolerance as theNetherlands. Historically, it was not the aristocracy, as in mostEuropean nations, but the citizenry that shaped Dutch cultureand identity. Its strong attachment to freedom is what makes theNetherlands unique in the world as a model for progressiveness.The Dutch Act of Abjuration of 1581 served as a model ofinspiration for the American Declaration of Independence.3. Dutch Economy is a World Economy Dutch studies pays attention to the importance of the economy inthe Low Countries. Located at the estuary of some of Europe’smost important rivers, the Low Countries represent a vitaleconomic artery of the European continent. According to someof the world’s leading historians, the Netherlands became thefirst modern economy in the world in the 17th century. Today,the Netherlands is the third biggest foreign investor in theUnited States. The present-day Low Countries (the Netherlands,Belgium and Luxembourg) represent the fourth biggest exporteconomy in the world. Europe’s two biggest seaports are locatedin the Low Countries (Rotterdam and Antwerp), as is the EUcapital in the Dutch and French-speaking city of Brussels.4. Dutch Culture is a World Culture Dutch studies offers a profound study of the cultural importanceof the Low Countries. The singular development of theNetherlands has been accompanied by splendid culturalachievements in painting, book printing, architecture, andliterature right through contemporary dance and design. Dutchculture is represented by several of the world’s most famous

4Dutch Studiespainters, from van Eyck to Rembrandt and from Vermeer to VanGogh.5. Dutch Language is a World Language Dutch studies offers four levels of Dutch language acquisitionfrom introductory to advanced Dutch as well as a linguisticcourse on the structure of modern Dutch. While Dutch is themother tongue of approximately 23 million people in Europe(some 17 million in the Netherlands and 6 million in Flanders,the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium), it is also spoken by halfa million people in the Caribbean and, although in a creolizedform, by some 6 million people in South Africa. Due to its coloniallegacy, knowledge of Dutch language proves to be of essentialimportance for scholars interested in the history of Japan, SouthEast Asia, South Africa, the Caribbean and the early Europeancolonization of the United States.Major Maps help undergraduate students discover academic, cocurricular, and discovery opportunities at UC Berkeley based on intendedmajor or field of interest.
