The department offers minors in French, German, German Business, Spanish, and Latin.  A minimum of twenty-four hours is required to complete a minor.  Students may earn up to twelve credits toward a minor through the McDaniel College administered placement examination, which is taken before beginning classes as a first-year student.  Only one course taught in English may count toward the minor.  At least one of the courses for the minor must be at the 3000 level.
