Â鶹´«Ã½

As a Spanish minor, you will:

• Develop speaking, reading, writing and listening skills in Spanish to the ACTFL Advanced Level (able to function in professional life, talk about past, present and future with some level of detail)
• Develop professional skills and serve the Latinx and/or Spanish-speaking population through a field experience placement
• Study representative works of literature from Spain and Latin America
• Study the history of Latin America from early 1800s to present
• Learn about the lives and cultures of the Spanish-speaking populations in the U.S. through required conversations with Latinx students and field experience placements

Note: You cannot start out as a first-year student in SPAN 101 and graduate with a Spanish minor in four years. Most first-year students place into SPAN 201 or 301 (through our placement test), not 101. If you haven’t yet taken a Spanish class and hope to minor in Spanish at Â鶹´«Ã½ Fox, be sure to register for a class or two before you graduate high school.

Our Spanish minor emphasizes:

• The unique relationship between culture and language
• The acquisition of analytical skills
• Familiarity with historically important works of literature, and
• A four-skill (reading, writing, listening and speaking) approach to language proficiency
