MINOR IN SPANISH AND HISPANIC STUDIES

The Spanish and Hispanic Studies Minor offers students the opportunity to explore the broad interdisciplinary field of the language and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world.  The Minor, designed to complement the students' areas of specialization, will allow them to develop the linguistic and cultural proficiency necessary to work professionally in the United States and in all Spanish-speaking countries, and make significant contributions to their communities.  In addition to obtaining a greater mastery of all language skills (reading, writing, comprehension, speaking), students will also acquire and apply terminology specific to their field.  Finally, the minor, in introducing students to diverse Hispanic literatures and cultures, will not only develop their analytical skills, but also teach them to recognize, negotiate, and appreciate cultural differences.
