Beginning in Fall 2017, the world languages and cultures department will offer majors and minors, and no longer offer certificates, concentrations, or interdisciplinary minors. Students who have previously declared the formerly available options will be able to complete their program of choice.The following minors will be available:

•  East Asian Studies
• Latin American Studies
• Arabic Language and Culture
• Chinese Language and Culture
• French Language and Culture
• German Language and Culture
• Japanese Language and Culture
• Spanish Language and Culture

There are three approved options students may select from when they declare their minor:

• An emphasis on languages
• An emphasis on study abroad
• An emphasis on integrated studies

Students will work with an adviser in world languages and cultures to select the most appropriate option. Additionally, students who select one of these approved options while pursuing a major in international relations are strongly encouraged to work with advisers from both areas.
