Nordic Studies
Overview
The Concentration in Nordic Studies enables students who enter St. Olaf with
advanced competence in Norwegian language or those who wish a more
interdisciplinary approach than that offered by the Norwegian major an
opportunity to pursue their interest in Nordic language, culture, and society.
Requirements for the Concentration
The Nordic Studies Concentration consists of five courses, Norwegian 253 plus four other approved courses, at
least one from the Norwegian Department and at least two from other
departments. Up to three courses taken on St. Olaf off-campus programs
such as the Oslo International Summer School, SUST, Oslo Year Program,
Scandinavian Seminar, or DIS may be approved.
Courses offered by the Departments of Art, History, Music, Philosophy and
others may be included in the concentration, providing the focus of the
course is on some aspect of Nordic language, culture, or society. The
student's proposed concentration must be approved by the Chair of the
Norwegian Department.
