The minor requires 18 hours in the same language, including the elementary courses. We currently offer Beginning and Intermediate -level instruction available on campus in Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. Advanced language instruction in all languages besides Spanish will require some study abroad or transfer coursework. Alternately, there are recommended electives that may be counted toward a minor in a particular language (see below).
Spanish - Minor can be earned entirely on OCU's campus.
Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Russian - Minors can be earned but must be completed through study abroad or courses taken elsewhere.
The program features lecture/lab classes taught by native and near-native speakers. Courses for the minor in Chinese can only be completed through another university via the study abroad program.
