Hallo,

The required Gpa in the most of universities is 2.5, so you have to calculate your Gpa according to The GERMAN GPS, and it different from uni to uni field to field, what did you study?

My degree is in history and have a 3.5 GPA on the American scale so I believe that is adequate. I’m more concerned with my degree being recognized.

Your degree is enugh to get an admission dont worry

This is false information. The question would not be the grade point average, which is good,  but if the program is recognized and a H+/- rating shows that the institution is not necessarily passing the standard. The institution considering acceptance would have to get more details of the specif program and decide. Don't make flippant judgments that are unfounded.

Anabin which is used for recognition of degrees has 3 ratings as detailed below in a quote from the Anabin website. The translation is that H+ is considered equivalent to a German university degree, H- is not and a H+/- means that it is not determinable just by the institution but would have to be individually considered according to the program and I guess done by the individual institutions considering acceptance. The post by another that it is just based on grade point average is simply incorrect.

„H+ bedeutet, dass die betreffende Institution in ihrem Sitzland als Hochschule anerkannt ist und auch in Deutschland als Hochschulinstitution  betrachtet wird. H- bedeutet, dass die Anerkennung/Akkreditierung im Herkunftsstaat fehlt und/oder keine Einstufung als Hochschule in Deutschland erfolgen kann. H+/- kennzeichnet Institutionen, für die keine eindeutige Aussage getroffen werden kann. Dies ist z.B. der Fall, wenn an einer Institution bestimmte Studiengänge angeboten werden, die dem Hochschulbereich angehören, während andere nach Dauer und Niveau darunter liegen oder nicht akkreditiert sind. In solchen Fällen ist die Prüfung des einzelnen Abschlusses erforderlich.“
