Minor in Spanish
The Spanish minor offers a solid foundation in oral and written language skills as well as an introduction to Hispanic cultures, literatures, and/or linguistics that will empower students to take leadership roles with the fastest growing demographic minority in the United States. The minor develops students' creative and critical thinking skills, thereby enhancing other university majors and minors. The communicative skills students acquire enable them to converse with ease during routine tasks and social situations and help prepare them to build and maintain collaborative relationships with Spanish speakers in their communities and in professional contexts. Coursework in the minor is grounded in a cultural lens based on exploration of the relationships among products, practices, and perspectives of Spanish-speaking cultures. Students are encouraged, but not required, to study abroad to further enhance their language acquisition and intercultural competence.
