The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is dedicated to the study of languages, literatures, and cultures of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula. Our department offers a wide variety of undergraduate classes, from basic language instruction in Spanish and Portuguese to upper-level courses in literature, culture, and film. Undergraduates may pursue majors and minors in Spanish and Portuguese, or a Joint Major in Spanish and Portuguese.

The Spanish minor consists of 18 credits (six courses), which are constituted by SPAN 2040 Span Conversations & Composition (3 c.h.) the 2 sections below, plus any other three 4000-level courses. Students are encouraged, but not required, to take SPAN 4060 Hispanic Literary Foundations (3 c.h.). Minors may not receive credit for courses taught in English.
