Requirements
The minor in Korean consists of at least 22 credits. The College requires that students complete at least 9 credits of their minor in upper-division (numbered 300 or above) courses in residence at UWM to earn a minor at UWM. The College also requires that students attain at least a 2.0 GPA on all minor credits attempted at UWM. In addition, students must attain a 2.0 GPA on all minor credits attempted, including any transfer work.
Students entering with no previous Korean language experience should enroll in KOREAN 101. Students entering with previous knowledge of, or high school preparation in, Korean, or transfer students who have studied Korean in other colleges, are assigned to courses on the basis of a departmental placement consultation with the Korean program coordinator. Students placed into a course beyond the 101 level who complete their first course with a grade of at least a B may receive retroactive credits earned at the 200 level or above to a maximum of 16 credits, for the courses leading to the one into which they are placed.
