An undergraduate student should initiate a Change of Academic Program if they wish to add or remove a minor.
The student obtains a Change of Academic Program form from the Registrar's Office or the department of the new major/minor, secures the signature of the department chair/director (or dean) of any major/minor to be added, and returns the form to the Registrar's Office for processing.
A student must submit the completed form by the Thursday before priority registration if the change is to be made within the current semester. Unless granted a waiver by the department of the new major, the student must meet all current program requirements for graduation.
By adding a language to your resume, you may be more competitive when searching for a new position, especially if that organization has a connection to the language. Some 91社区 alumni have secured jobs at international corporations and agencies, work for the United Nations or have pursued Ph.D. degrees in international diplomacy, politics, relations and linguistics.
