MINORS
A minor in a language is an excellent complement to a number of majors. Students pursuing careers in law, business administration, criminal justice, and health sciences, among other fields, should consider a minor in language as a way to increase their marketable skills.
General Requirements
- A cumulative GSU grade-point average of 2.0.
- At least 9 of the 15 credit hours required for the minor must be taken at the 3000-4000 level; a maximum of 6 credit hours may be taken at the 2000 level.
- No credit already used for the minor can be used to fulfill any other Area requirements.
- A grade of “C” or better is required in all minor courses.
Students who wish to minor in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Korean, or Spanish must take 15-18 hours in courses in the language, including at least 9 semester hours at the 3000 level or above. Students taking more than 15 hours of courses in the language may count the additional hours toward their electives or may consider completing a double major. A minimum grade of C or higher is required in all courses counting toward the minor.
An interdisciplinary minor is available to provide educational opportunities not present otherwise and to allow students the flexibility to select courses for the minor from several departments and even from several colleges at the university. The undergraduate minor in Latin American Studies is intended for students who wish to gain a familiarity with Latin American history and culture in order to enrich a major in one of the academic departments of Georgia State University. Students who complete the minor will be well-prepared either to work or study in Latin America or to pursue advanced studies about the region.
