The Senate adopts the Minors in Modern Languages as described below.
Competing successfully in the world market requires language skills, cultural awareness and international experience. The study of a modern language will help students address that challenge. In addition to gaining proficiency in the language and intercultural communication skills, students will also study literature and acquire knowledge of contemporary issues. A minor in a modern language can give students the competitive edge in their career and help them develop skills to cope effectively with the complex challenges of a rapidly changing global environment.
Students who want to earn a minor in either French, German, or Spanish must complete two years of the same modern language (12 credits) and two courses (6 credits) chosen from the language-specific 3000- or 4000-level courses listed below which can be taken either at Michigan Tech or completed through study abroad. Three of the six elective credits may be earned through participation in an approved internship in a country of the target language.
