MINORS

---

A minor must contain 15 to 18 semester hours of course work, with at least 9 hours of upper division course work (numbered 3000 or above). Courses taken to satisfy Core Areas I through V may not be counted as course work in the minor. Courses taken in Core Area VI may be counted as course work in the minor. The intent of establishing minor fields of study is to offer students the opportunity to broaden their education through the minor field. The selection of a minor field of study should be made to fulfill this goal.

The department shall make available to students the requirements for the minor--the total number of hours required, along with the enumeration of any particular courses that are mandated or excluded, residency requirements (if any) for the minor courses, and grade requirements for minor courses if those requirements differ from the general University standard for credit (a D as the minimum passing grade).

A student may select a minor in consultation with his or her advisor. The student may then consult an advisor in the minor field who can inform the student of remaining requirements for the minor. When the student has met the requirements for the minor, the advisor in the minor field will then certify that fact to the student's dean. The completed minor will be recorded on the student's permanent transcript, but not on the diploma. For students completing a minor after graduation, the statement shall appear on the transcript in chronological order following the courses taken subsequent to graduation. A student must be enrolled at the time a minor is approved by the University Council, or subsequent to that date, to receive credit for the minor. A student may have more than one minor.

Minor - African Languages and Literatures

• Students must complete 15 hours of course work with at least 9 hours of upper division course work.
• At least three courses (9 hours) must be taken in residence.
• All courses used to satisfy the minor must be passed with a grade of "C" (2.0) or better.

Program Description:
The Minor in African Languages and Literatures is designed to provide students with a deep, coordinated, and valuable understanding of the African continent and the multi-dimensional aspects of the linguistic and literary life on the continent. The minor is designed for undergraduate students interested either in the languages of Africa or in the body of literary work present on the continent. The minor will additionally assist students interested in pursuing graduate work in the humanities with special focus on issues pertaining to language or literature in Africa. Although the courses offered in the minor will mainly be those based within Comparative Literature department, there will be opportunities for students to have independent studies in areas beyond the scope of the department courses. Students will also be able to petition for African language and literature-related content courses in other departments (such as English, Drama, Linguistics, etc.) towards the program.
