Minors

  • The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures offers 12 language minors. (See the 2008 minor report.)
  • Students majoring in any area of study at NC State are eligible to minor in a foreign language. The minor cannot be in the same discipline as the major.
  • Students first obtain a minor declaration work sheet (download below, Adobe Reader required) and consult with their major advisor for approval of the minor program.

  • After the student obtains the major advisor's signature, he/she should consult with the minor advisor to develop a plan of study indicating required courses and expected dates of completion. Minor advisors corresponding to each minor can be found in the "Info" link for each minor.
  • The program requires fifteen hours of study in the minor discipline. The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures will determine which courses transferred from other institutions may qualify in meeting requirements for the minor, as well as the number of transfer credits permitted to meet program requirements. It is required that students will complete at least three required courses either at NC State or at an NC State sponsored study-abroad program. A grade of C- or better is required in all courses in the minor program.
  • Copies of the minor declaration work sheet and plan of study will be kept in the department.
  • You must see the Coordinator of Undergraduate Advising (Ms. Susan Navey-Davis) no later than the first week of your final semester at NC State in order to complete the Minor Application Form. This form certifies completion of the minor and is taken to your major department for processing with your graduation paperwork.
  • Students will receive official recognition on their transcripts for a completed minor.
