The Spanish minor is an excellent complement to major areas of study including business, nursing, pre-medical fields, social sciences, the humanities and global studies. Students in the minor develop their Spanish language skills at an advanced level, while deeply engaging with cultural practices of Latin America and Spain. Students gain transferable skills such as global awareness, cross-cultural literacy and the ability to work with diverse groups, which prepare them for employment in fields including communications, foreign service, journalism, medical professions and social work. In addition, a background in Spanish benefits those pursuing primary studies or future graduate work in anthropology, Hispanic studies, history, international business, law and political science.
