Modern Language Minor
Offerings in modern languages develop language proficiency and cultural awareness through collaborative classes where effective communication is the primary goal. Advanced courses in languages from other countries contribute to knowledge about that area as well as the history and structure of their language and literature. These courses allow students to read and respond in writing to another language, since all advanced courses are taught in the language using authentic texts. The advanced topics courses are designed to support study abroad in languages not usually taught at the advanced level at UIW.
This minor requires 12 credit hours of courses in a single modern language, including at least 6 upper-division credit hours. Advanced level courses may be taken at UIW, at another U.S. university, or abroad. Advanced topics courses will be used to award credit for coursework taken elsewhere or offered at UIW as an independent study.
