The School of Modern Languages offers minors in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish as well as in Russian Studies. This program is designed for students who wish to develop their language skills to at least an intermediate level and to provide themselves with a greater depth than possible with a certificate program.

Students must earn 15 credit hours of language electives in a single language beyond the 2002 course.
1. Beyond the 2001 course for CHIN/JAPN/Russian Studies
2. Beyond the 2002 course for FREN/GRMN/SPAN
3. Students pursuing a minor in Russian Studies should take their electives in at least two different departments/schools (Modern Languages, International Affairs, and/or Literature, Communication, and Culture)
4. At least 9 hours must be taken at the 3000 level or above
A maximum of 9 semester hours of transfer credit is allowed in each minor. All courses counting toward a minor must be taken on a letter-grade basis, and a grade of C or better must be received in each course.
