The Hebrew minor requires a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75, based on all Hebrew minor course work taken on the UW-Madison campus. The graduation grade point average may be modified by the Last 60 Credits Rule. Students interested in completing a certification minor in Hebrew must also complete a major in another certification subject area; it is not possible to be certified only in a minor area. Contact the program coordinator to discuss the feasibility of combining this minor with the major subject area—not all combinations may be possible.
Students in Elementary Education may complete this minor as an "academic" minor only. Completion of this course work provides a depth of study in an academic discipline, but does not lead to certification to teach foreign language in the elementary school. Contact Education Academic Services (EAS), Rust-Schreiner Halls, 115 North Orchard Street, for additional information regarding this minor.
Currently, the Hebrew minor requires a minimum of 25 credits in Hebrew; 16 credits may come from courses below 225. Students seeking certification must complete at least 20 credits at UW-Madison. Equivalent courses, including high school Hebrew, may count; see department advisor. See the faculty advisor for specific course work of remaining 9 credits.
