The Advanced Asian Languages Minor is designed for students who wish to gain a high level of proficiency in an Asian language. 

In some cases, language courses taken abroad may be counted towards the minor with the approval of the director of undergraduate studies and pending departmental review. It is essential that students returning from abroad take the language placement exam as soon as possible. For more information about the review process, please contact the director of undergraduate studies. Study abroad credits cannot be counted towards the humanities portion of the minor. 

Prerequisite

First and second year language courses in area of focus (or equivalent placement).

Double-counting note: Weinberg College allows double-counting a prerequisite course for a minor toward some other major or minor, or general bachelor's degree requirement. Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.

Minor Requirements (7 units)

Double-counting note: Weinberg College prohibits double-counting a minor course toward some other major or minor, except where this is explicitly permitted in this catalog. Weinberg College does allow double-counting a minor course toward a general bachelor's degree requirement (i.e. degree requirements other than majors or minors). Other programs or schools may have their own restrictions that supersede this, so check the relevant parts of this catalog for possible limits.
