Minors

The Spanish Minor is a program of humanistic study of the Spanish-speaking world that requires a minimum of 20 credits in Spanish at the 212 level and above. Most students take SPAN 212 (as one of three major electives) before moving on to Spanish Foundational Courses (SPAN 300-318, at least two required) and, later, more focused 400-level courses (at least one required). Spanish minors are strongly encouraged to study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country.
