Students without sufficient proficiency in Spanish will need to take beginning and/or intermediate Spanish courses prior to taking the courses for the minor, chosen with the guidance of an advisor.

Students choosing this minor may also complete the BA in Spanish in the Literature and Linguistics Option or the Spanish for the Professions Option.  If they choose to do so, they may count SPA350 and SPA351 towards both this minor and the BA.
