AFRICAN DIASPORA AND THE WORLD MINOR
The African Diaspora and the World (ADW) Minor allows students to deepen their exploration, begun in the
introductory ADW 111-112 sequence, about the foundational contributions of Africans and African descendants to
the creation and development of the modern and post-modern worlds. It provides students with an intellectual
foundation that enables them to reflect upon and articulate their sense of identity in the context of the global
presence of people and culture of African origin. Special emphasis is placed on the intersections and connections
among the various communities of African descent globally. The course sequence, which requires both scholarly
and experiential engagement, seeks to prepare students to become members of a world community committed to
positive social change.
Requirements for the ADW Minor
Six to seven (6-7)) courses totaling twenty (24) hours are the minimum requirement for the ADW Minor. Two core
courses, ADW 220 and ADW 242, are required. Students must then select four additional elective courses, two
from the social sciences and two from the humanities to complete the minimum 24 hours. The electives from the
social sciences and from the humanities must be from two different traditions or geographic regions.
Core Courses Two courses for six-eight (6-8) credit hours

Asian Studies Minor
Scholars are remarking on the “Asian Century,” as many of Asia’s economies come into their own. With
the gaining of economic strength also comes a heightening of these countries’ profiles in the world. The
Asian Studies minor brings a critical region of the world into focus and allows students to examine an
area where they might be looking for employment and building careers in the future.
Minor Requirements:
The Asian Studies minor is designed to give students a broad, multi-disciplinary background in the
society, politics, history and culture of Asian countries. Students may undertake this minor without
having studied either of the two Asian languages offered at Spelman, Chinese, and Japanese, but we
strongly suggest the completion of two years of language study in one of them. Minor classes must be in
at least two different departments, must cover at least two different Asian countries, and must have a mix
of 200, 300 and 400-level classes. There is one required course, Introduction to Asian Studies, offered
once a year.
Upon Completion of the minor, students will be able to do the following:
•
•
•
•
Analyze the Asian region in terms of its historical, cultural and social connections and continuities
Identify Asia’s role in the making of the modern world
Compare and contrast the similarities and differences among major Asian countries
Examine and explain the contemporary issues of economy, society and polity that face the major
Asian countries
Courses:
For the Asian Studies minor, students must complete 6 classes (24 credit hours) selected from the list
below, with a grade of "C" or better:
Students would choose 6 courses or 24 credits from the following:
PSC/HIS/WLL Introduction to Asian Studies

Requirements for Completion
Students must complete five core requirements and an approved 4-credit course elective with a
grade of “C” or better. A minimum of twenty-two course credits must be completed upon
graduation.
Minor Requirements
The minor will require the completion of four core courses, a capstone experience, and a 4-credit
course elective.

Capstone Experience (4 credits)
The issues on climate change and its impact on the environment and health are still evolving, and
require that we prepare our students to respond to these emerging challenges. The intent of this
minor is to use the capstone experience in addressing these global issues in ways that would
generate interests among our students in environmental health. Through this approach, our
students will have enhanced understanding of issues on (of or related to) health disparity, and
encouraged to explore ideas and propose creative solutions for solving the problems.

Students who wish to minor in international studies are required to successfully complete:
All major core requirements with the exception of Senior Seminar
Two major electives in one track
Two World language courses at the 300 level or above

JAPAN STUDIES MINOR
The Japan Studies minor is designed to provide students with an understanding of Japanese history, culture,
and language and a general knowledge of contemporary Japanese political, economic, and social dynamics.
Requirements
A minor in Japan Studies consists of 24 semester hours. Students using JPN 101 through 202 as the College
language requirement start the Japan Studies Minor with JPN 301 and 302 or equivalent. Students who use
another language to fulfill the College language requirement must complete at least JPN 202. It is suggested
that these students also take JPN 301 and 302. All students are required to take SOC 260, Japanese Society.
All courses must be passed with a minimum grade of “C.”
Core Courses
•
JPN 101 and 102 Elementary Japanese
•
JPN 201 and 202 Intermediate Japanese or
•
JPN 301 and 302 Advanced Japanese: 8 hours
•
*SOC 260 Japanese Society: 4 hours
Three elective courses chosen from:
•
**ECON 350 Japanese Economic Development
•
**HIS 343A Modern Japan
•
**PSC 342 Japan in Asia
•
**SOC 360 Women in Japanese Society
•
JPN 402 Advanced Japanese in Cultural Contexts
•
JPN 478-01 Selected Topics in Japanese
*Appropriate language level
**Independent Study 400 level (no more than 4 credit hours)
Total: 24 hours
The above courses are described under their respective departments.
Transfer of Credits
Except for SOC 260, students may take Japan Studies courses at other approved colleges and may transfer a
maximum of 50 percent (12 hours) of credit hours to satisfy the 24 credit-hour Japan Studies Minor
requirement. Courses taken elsewhere do not have to be social science courses, but must be Japan-related. A
course may receive credit although it is not offered at Spelman, (e.g., geography), but it must still be Japanrelated. This transfer of credit will be determined by the Japan Studies Director.

Information for Transfer Students
Following is information for students transferring to Spelman College and who intend to major in
mathematics.
Students transferring to Spelman College after completing one year of college should expect to have
completed:
● Calculus 1 and 2 (single variable calculus with analytic geometry; 2 semesters)
Students transferring to Spelman College at the end of the second year of college should expect to have
completed:
● Calculus 1, 2, and 3 (both single variable and multivariable calculus with analytic geometry; 3 semesters)
● Introduction to Linear Algebra (1 semester)
● Foundations of Mathematics (or a similar proof-oriented course that provides a transition to higher
mathematics; 1 semester)
For students transferring into the major after two years, the Mathematics Department also recommends
completion of a year-long laboratory-based science course and a semester of computer programming.
All transfer students with a strong interest in majoring in mathematics should see the Mathematics
Department chairperson and will be assigned a faculty advisor. Each student will be advised on the
appropriate next courses, based on her background, however all transfer students should expect to enroll in
the Introductory Seminar in Mathematics (0 credit) course.

no later than Fall semester of the sophomore year. It is preferable that the Music Minor take MUS 113A and MUS
113B at the beginning of her first year along with her Private Lesson and Ensemble. For minors, MUS 113A and
MUS 113B are prerequisites for all other core courses in the department. After acceptance into the minor, the
following courses are required (29 hours, with no grade below “C”).
