Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish
To fulfill requirements for a minor in Chinese, French, German, Japanese, or Spanish, a student must complete a minimum of 17 credits of course work in one language area. A foundation of the target language, 203 and 204 (8 credits), is required. The remaining 9 credits must be 300-400-level course work in the target language, of which 3 credits must be taken in residence at WSU, while the remaining 6 credits must be taken either in residence at WSU or through WSU-approved education abroad, educational exchange courses, or equivalent transfer coursework. All courses must be passed with a grade of C or better. Only courses thus designated in the Catalog may be repeated for credit toward the minor. Courses counting towards a minor in the language may not be counted towards a major in International Area Studies (i.e., Asian Studies, Latin America Area Studies, German Area Studies, or French and Francophone Area Studies). 105, 205, 305, 405 may not count towards the minor. For courses taken in Study Abroad Programs or as other transfer credits, please check with your advisor. All Chinese, French, German, Japanese, and Spanish language minors must also complete an exit proficiency examination interview during the semester in which they complete the last language course of their minor. There is a fee charged for the exam
