Program Requirements for Minor in Romance Languages and Literatures
Students who elect to minor in the French, Italian or Spanish program must meet with the appropriate Romance Languages and Literatures (RL&L) undergraduate adviser before the end of spring quarter of their third year to declare their intention to complete the minor. Students choose courses in consultation with their undergraduate adviser. Students must obtain approval for the minor program from the undergraduate adviser and submit it to their College adviser by the deadline on the form obtained from the undergraduate adviser.
The RL&L minor requires a total of six courses beyond the second-year language sequence (20100-20300). One course must be an advanced language course (above 20300). The balance must consist of five literature and culture courses, including at least two in the survey sequence.
Courses in the minor (1) may not be double counted with the student’s major(s) or with other minors and (2) may not be counted toward general education requirements. Courses in the minor must be taken for a quality grade, and more than half of the requirements for the minor must be met by registering for courses bearing University of Chicago course numbers.
The following groups of courses would comprise a minor in the languages indicated. Other programs may be designed in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate Studies. Minor program requirements are subject to revision.
