Minor in Foreign Language

(German or Spanish)

The minor in Foreign Language can be completed in either German or Spanish. It allows students who are well prepared to continue their study of the language and its culture well beyond the advanced level. The minor consists of a total of two units of work, distributed in the following way:

1. 1 unit of intermediate and advanced language courses in Spanish or German chosen from the following:
   • SP 2522, SP 3521, SP 3522, or higher or
   • GN 2512, GN 3511, GN 3512, or higher.
   (This unit may be double-counted toward the Humanities and Arts Requirement. No more than one unit may be double-counted in this way.)
2. 2/3 unit of advanced literature and culture courses chosen from the following:
   • SP 3523, SP 3524, SP 3525, SP 3526, or Consortium courses approved by a faculty member in Spanish or
   • GN 3513, GN 3514, or Consortium courses approved by a faculty member in German.
   • Any 3000-level experimental course in GN or SP may also be used.
3. 1/3 unit capstone experience consisting of an IS/P written in the foreign language.

(If, in the future, there are enough German and Spanish minors combined, the capstone independent study will be a team-taught seminar in comparative civilization/literature.) Interested students should see the following professors in the Humanities and Arts Department: Prof. Dollenmayer (for German) or Prof. Rivera (for Spanish).
