Minor in Spanish

Spanish is the fourth most spoken language in the world, with over 500 million speakers.

Individuals who can speak, read, and write in Spanish as well as those who have familiarity with cultural histories and traditions of the Spanish-speaking world gain access to opportunities, both personal and professional, due to their knowledge. A minor in Spanish clearly affords students with unique benefits, from invitations to work, study, and travel abroad, to frequently earning higher salaries than their monolingual counterparts upon graduation.

HOW CAN A STUDENT COMPLETE A MINOR?

The Spanish minor consists of 20 credits in Spanish courses, with at least 8 credits at the 300-level or above. While true beginners can start with SPAN 10100, students are invited to begin the minor at whatever level is right for them.

The department encourages students to select from a wide range of offerings that changes every semester. Students who choose to study abroad in Spanish-speaking countries may also wish to use credits earned for the minor.

We strongly recommend students consult with their Spanish minor advisors or the department chair for specific guidance.
