PHLP-designated courses cross-listed with courses from other disciplines have special requirements that focus on Philippine Studies.  These courses contain specially designed activities (e.g., term papers, projects and tutorials) that emphasize study of the Philippines.  In this way, such courses meet the requirement that any PHLP-designated course must be sufficiently focused on Philippine Studies to warrant inclusion in the academic minor.

The minor requires at least one semester of study in the Philippines.  This requirement significantly strengthens the experiential component of the minor, but also provides students access to a wider range of courses in Philippine Studies.  Language study at the University of the Philippines is strongly encouraged.
