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.
