  2. Native speakers of Korean are not allowed to take language skills courses, so they must take all 15 credits from Category II ( A Non-Language Skills Courses).
  3. All courses must be taken within the University of Hawaii system (with at least three taken at UH-Manoa), or else through a study abroad or exchange program which is directly administered by an official UH-Manoa organ (e.g., the Study Abroad Center, the Center for Korean Studies, etc.) and which is officially recognized by the Korean Section of UH-Manoa’s Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures.
  4. Students who have completed at least Korean 202 or its equivalent, and who have a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or higher are eligible to declare a minor in Korean. To apply, contact the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures (Moore Hall #382; 956-8940).
