An undergraduate world language minor must complete 20 upper-division credits (numbered 300 or above) in language, literature, or culture, and at least 12 of which are in the target language, and 4 credits in general linguistics (WLL 390, Ling 390, or a linguistics course in the target language).

• No more than 4 credits of courses numbered 404 (Cooperative Education) may be counted toward the minor.
• Twelve of the required 24 credits must be taken in residence at PSU (excludes credit by exam but includes study abroad credit from PSU approved programs).
• All courses used to satisfy the departmental minor requirements, must be graded C or higher. (C- and P are not acceptable). Students minoring in a foreign language must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.50 on all courses used to satisfy the minor requirements.
