The 18-credit minor in Korean language and literature offers students a flexible way to advance their skills and combine Korean with another area of study.

Course requirements for the minor include modern Korean readings and conversation, as well as electives focusing on areas such as Korean film, society, literary translation and more. Students in the minor are also required to complete four prerequisite language courses before completing the remaining requirements.
