The objective of the minor in a foreign language is to enable students majoring in any field to acquire proficiency in a second language, understanding the culture, and knowledge of the countries in which the language is spoken.

Admissions

To be admitted to the program, a student must have a GPA of at least 2.0. Application for admission to any ¸£Àû±ÆÕ¾ minor program is now available via MyPack Portal. Admission will be based upon the student’s academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. To declare a Spanish Minor, go to the page.

Certification

Paperwork for certification should be completed no later than during the registration period for the student’s final semester at NC State. Students should meet with the Coordinator of Advising below to complete the final certification. Students will receive official recognition on their transcripts for the completed minor.
