Spanish Minor

An undergraduate minor in Spanish is offered for students who wish to supplement scholarly preparation in another major discipline with substantial coursework in Spanish. This minor is especially suitable for students who wish to develop a global perspective, enhance their critical thinking skills through language study, expand their employment opportunities by honing bilingual and bicultural skills, or enrich their own understanding of the world.

A minor in Spanish can be a valuable complement for students interested in Anthropology and Sociology, Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Global Studies, Healthcare Administration, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latina/o Studies, Media Studies, Nursing, Political Science, Pre-Law, Social Work, or other programs.
