| Francophone Studies Minor in Cajun and Creole Studies All majors in the College of Liberal Arts require a minor concentration. The minor can add depth and breadth to a student's major and prepare the student to be more competitive in the marketplace or better equipped to continue graduate or professional school. Early consideration of a minor concentration can assist a student in planning his or her degree progress. A minor concentration consists of a minimum of 18 credit hours (generally 6 courses) in an approved area. At least 6 hours must be completed at the 300 or 400 level. Designed to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the cultural heritage of French-speaking Louisiana, the interdisciplinary minor in Cajun and Creole Studies is especially appropriate for those wishing to work in the tourism industry, education and public relations. As you plan your minor in Cajun and Creole Studies, please note that only 42 hours in a single discipline can count toward graduation. Thus, a French major (33 hours in French) may count 9 additional hours in French towards this minor. The remaining hours should be taken in other disciplines. Similarly, a History major with 33 hours in History may apply at most 9 additional hours in History toward the minor in Cajun and Creole Studies, and should take the remaining hours in other disciplines.
