Major/Minor

<p>Is it possible to minor in something at the Academy? Like a language or something. I didnt find an answer about it anywhere, but maybe I wasnt looking in the right places. SO I figured Id ask here :)</p>

<p>Yes, it is possible to minor in a language at the Academy. What language do you want to minor in?</p>

<p>Probably French since I am taking it right now, but itd be cool to take a couple classes in German or Russian.</p>

<p>That's cool I wish they offered French back in the day when we chose languages, I wish the Academy offered Swedish (random I know), but I lived in Sweden for awhile and would really like to continue my studies in Swedish. I think Russian or German would be pretty cool too, if I go I'll probably end up starting Russian or German or maybe I'll continue with Spanish</p>

<p>Since I was already fluent in Spanish, I was able to validate all but one language class (which I took in Spanish for the easy A).</p>

<p>Looking back, I wish I had minored in Italian.</p>

<p>I had a bloody hard time academically, though, so I'm just going to be grateful I graduated! :-)</p>

<p>Welcome Zaphod! How great it is to have your help here! Glad you were humble enough to point out that the academics are wicked tough. At another Academy, (ehm...USMMA....cough cough) the rule of thumb is "D is Done". I'm a parent so the worry is a given. You're going to get a kick out of the kids on this forum. They are truly awesome. Hope you'll share many stories about your time at USNA. Thanks! AND BEAT ARMY!!</p>
