Key Summary
About: The Spanish minor requires 18 credit hours. Students placing beyond intermediate must complete at least 12 credit hours. Elementary courses (131, 132) remove deficiencies and don't count toward the minor. Students choose remaining courses with faculty guidance. The General College supports diverse learners, links curricular and co‑curricular programs to University Core Competencies (TEP), and increases global learning through the Three Tier Approach to Learning (TTAL) to improve retention and graduation.
Career Outcomes: A Spanish minor can lead to roles in teaching, translation/interpretation, and international business. It builds language proficiency, intercultural skills, and global competence useful in education, NGOs, government, multicultural workplaces and careers.
