Minor Program

Minor in African Languages

Minor Contents Description:

Students earning the MALL must complete 18 hours of course work with at least 9 hours of upper division course work.

A pre-requisite for the MALL is one year course work in African languages (presently Arabic, Manding, Swahili, Yoruba, or Amharic).  All students earning the MALL must complete this 6 hours (or one year) pre-requisite before beginning course work for the MALL.

Courses toward the MALL will not consist of more than 3 hours of African languages and literatures related independent study or course work that is not on the list of required courses for the MALL.  Such course work must be petitioned by the student and approved by the CMLT department.

At least four courses (or 12 hours) must be taken in residence.

All courses used to satisfy the MALL must be passed with a  grade “C” or better.


“A student may select a minor in consultation with his or her advisor. The student may then consult an advisor in the minor field who can inform the student of remaining requirements for the minor. When the student has met the requirements for the minor, the advisor in the minor field will then certify that fact to the student's dean. The completed minor will be recorded on the student's permanent transcript, but not on the diploma. A student must be enrolled at the time a minor is approved by the Board of Regents, or subsequent to that date, to receive credit for the minor. A student may have more than one minor.”— University Handbook
