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 18 credit hours of language electives in a single language:
1. French, German, and Spanish
  1. Beyond the 2002 course for students enrolled at GT through Spring 2007
  2. Beyond the 2001 course for new students enrolled at GT after Spring 2007
2. Chinese, Japanese, and Russian Studies, beyond the 2001 course
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)
A maximum of 6 semester hours of Special Topics is allowed in each minor except for Russian Studies which allows a maximum of 9 semester hours.
A maximum of 9 semester hours of transfer credit is allowed in each minor.

Students wishing to pursue one or more of these minors should consult with the Director of Undergraduate Studies in Modern Languages for detailed information and for approval at the completion of the coursework. 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.
