Minor Proposal Forms
Modern Languages
Do I have to complete the breadth requirement if I use a foreign language as my depth requirement? No, Arabic, Chinese, German, Spanish and ISE (English for Second Language learners) are exempt from the breadth requirement because foreign language instruction is broadly interdisciplinary and includes elements of the history, literature, and culture of a particular language area. You can simply take 6 foreign language courses culminating in an advanced course. The course catalog indicates which of these advanced courses satisfy the Inquiry Seminar requirement. Your 6 language courses will be approved by your HUA advisor in e-projects.
