Foreign Language Minors
The Minors in French, Italian and Spanish
Students wishing to minor in French or Spanish must earn 15
credits beyond the elementary level in the language of their
choice. Courses taken at the elementary level, if any, do not
count toward the credits required for the Minor. Typically, the
hours comprising the French, Italian or Spanish Minor consist of
6 Intermediate credits (201 and 202), plus 9 additional credits
earned by completing 3 courses chosen from the 300 or 400
series. However, any 5 or more courses above the elementary
level will complete the minor [except the Spanish and French culture courses, 203 and 204, which are not language courses and are taught in English].
