SPAN-MIN - Spanish (Minor)

The minor in Spanish is for students who want to combine the acquisition of linguistic competence with the study of the literatures and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world.

Declaring the Minor

Students declare their minor in Spanish through Axess. Students should meet with the Director of Undergraduate Studies to discuss appropriate courses and options within the minor programs and to plan the course of study. The minor is administered through the undergraduate student services office in Pigott Hall, Room 128

Learning Outcomes:

The minor introduces students to rigorous scholarship on Spanish-speaking communities and cultures worldwide while providing linguistic and literary competency commensurate with a secondary study area.

AP credit is not accepted.
