Total Credits for the Minor: 20

*Students who have completed two years of foreign language study in high school may take another language course to fulfill the language requirement or, alternatively, opt for an IGS course in another discipline. Students cannot use any credits they receive due to their performance on a foreign language placement exam.

A minimum of one third of the required credits must be earned at UMF for a minor to be awarded.
