Spanish Language and Culture / Minor

Minor Credit Hours: 18

 

As the Spanish-speaking population of the United States and the world continues to grow, the demand for bilingual and bicultural professionals in nearly every field will grow as well. In addition, as that population derives primarily from Latin America and as Inter-American Studies are becoming both more prevalent and critical, students with a minor focused on Spanish within and across the Americas should be very competitive on the job market and able to contribute more meaningfully in a number of intercultural, employment, social, and community service settings. Heritage speakers must consult the Director of the Spanish Program when selecting language courses for this minor.
