World Literatures and Cultures (Minor)
In keeping with the 福利逼站鈥檚 mission to provide an international curriculum, the World Literatures and Cultures minor offers N.C. State students (excluding English majors in Literature concentration) an opportunity to study literature and cultures outside the Anglo-American tradition. Students will develop critical and analytical skills and enhance the global perspective essential in today鈥檚 job market. The minor offers choices from a range of courses that include film, animation, illustrations, texts, lyrics, and popular cultural references, with courses from History, History of Art, Music, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Literature. Readings are in English translation, but original texts supplied on request. Many World Literatures and Cultures courses are cross-listed in the Department of World Languages and Cultures and the English Department.
Admissions
To be admitted to the program, a student must have a GPA of at least 2.0. Application for admission to any 福利逼站 minor program is now available via MyPack Portal. Admission will be based upon the student鈥檚 academic record, and in most cases no longer requires departmental review. 聽This minor is open to all NC State students, except English majors in the Literature concentration (16ENGLBA I6ENGLLLT).聽Go to the聽聽page to apply. (Students may declare the minor when they are enrolled in a class that counts toward the minor.)
Certification
Students should declare the minor as soon as they have completed the first course for the minor, and complete their course work according to their minor degree audit, and the聽minor requirements. Students can monitor their progress toward completing the minor by viewing their Minor Degree Audit online, anytime, in MyPack Portal. The minor must be completed no later than the semester in which the student expects to graduate from his or her degree program.聽Questions regarding unmet course requirements on the Minor Degree Audit (indicated by a red 鈥榅鈥�) should be directed to the Minor Coordinator, below.
