This minor is especially suitable for students who wish to develop a global perspective, enhance their critical thinking skills through language study, expand their employment opportunities by honing bilingual and bicultural skills, or enrich their own understanding of the world.

A minor in Spanish can be a valuable complement for students interested in Anthropology and Sociology, Business, Criminal Justice, Education, Global Studies, Healthcare Administration, History, Interdisciplinary Studies, Latin American, Caribbean, and Latina/o Studies, Media Studies, Nursing, Political Science, Pre-Law, Social Work, or other programs.
