Enhance Your Degree
All Spanish majors are strongly encouraged to select a minor or a second major to enhance your career options.
Minors are 15–18 credit hours and will display on your transcript after graduation, but not on your diploma.
You can also complete an internship that will provide practical hands-on experience and expand your career options after graduation.
International Experiences
Immerse yourself in the Spanish language and increase your cultural awareness by participating in a study abroad experience. All Spanish majors must complete a 10-week minimum experience in a Spanish-speaking country.
Study abroad options include university-sponsored, reciprocal, affiliated and independent programs. Selection of location and type of experience abroad should be made in consultation with departmental advisors. If an experience abroad is not possible, you may petition that an internship or service-learning project be used instead.
