Minor

Students may qualify for a minor in Asian and Middle East Studies by satisfactorily completing eight quarter-courses selected in consultation with the director from an approved list of Asia and Middle East-related courses. At least two quarter-courses must be taken in each of three broad disciplinary categories: Social Sciences, History, Humanities. Six such courses will suffice for students who also satisfactorily complete two years of language study in Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Hebrew, Korean, Swahili, Persian, or Turkish. (Native-speaker proficiency does not count for course credit.)

All students applying for Weinberg College minors must present records that show a minimum of five courses not double-counted in their majors. Graduating seniors who have completed the requirements for a minor should request the form, "Application for a Minor in Weinberg College" from the program director.
