NOTES FOR MINOR and BIS EMPHASIS AREA:

• A grade of C or better must be achieved in all courses to be counted toward the minor.

• A minimum of 6 upper‐division hours in the minor must be taken in residence at ASU Tempe campus.

• Pass/Fail courses cannot be used for the minor.

• 201 and 202 language courses are not applicable to the minor.

• Course substitutions are permitted for Heritage speakers and other advanced speakers of Slavic languages. Please contact the head of the SILC Faculty of German, Romanian, and Slavic for more information.

BCS 311/312, and PLC 311/312 are new courses. We have already initiated the ACRES process for these courses.

 

Advising procedures and measures for verification of completion of the minor

 

Students will be advised by Dr. Danko Sipka (Danko.Sipka@asu.edu) and the two SILC advisors.

Given that the only requirement for this minor is completion of 18 credit hours of selected courses with grades of C or higher, a simple checking of students’ academic records will suffice to verify completion of the minor.

 

Minimum residency requirement

At least one third (i.e. 6) of these hours must be ASU credit.
