Minor Requirements

French, German, Spanish, Classical Studies minor - 18 credits

Did you test into the three hundred level of French, German, or Spanish? You can easily get a minor by taking the gateway language class (French 311 or 312, German 311 or 312, Spanish 312) and then three more upper-level language classes in the target language!

Not sure you want a minor even if you place into the 300 level? Then take the gateway course, get a C or better to get credit for 211 and 212. That is 9 credits for one course!
