Minor Requirements

A minor in Spanish consists of a minimum of 18 credits including SPA 301 Approaches to Reading Texts and at least 12 credits in other courses numbered 300 or above taught in Spanish. Up to three credits each from SPA 201 Spanish III and/or SPA 202 Spanish IV may also count toward the Spanish minor. If these courses are taken at Syracuse University, including through SU Abroad. SPA 201 Spanish III and SPA 202 Spanish IV, are not required for the Spanish minor. If students place higher than 201/202, they should fulfill the minor with 300-level and 400-level courses.

• It is recommended, but not required, that at least 6 credits of 300-level courses must be taken before entering the 400 level.
• At least 6 credits of 400-level courses are required for the minor.

Note: SPA 101 Spanish I and SPA 102 Spanish II, do not count toward the SPA major or minor. SPA 201 Spanish III and SPA 202 Spanish IV can be counted toward the SPA major or minor only if SPA 201 Spanish III and  SPA 202 Spanish IV were taken at SU. Only up to 3 credits from 300 and 400 level conversation courses may be counted toward SPA major or minor. SPA 211 Intermediate Oral Practice and SPA 212 Intermediate Oral Practice do not count.

All students must take an online placement exam to determine their appropriate level before enrolling in Spanish courses.

Students, including transfers, with credits earned in Spanish, should consult the major advisor of Spanish as early as possible. Early consultation is also important for students with little or no preparation in Spanish so they may be sure to satisfy requirements within four years.

No course taken as a PASS/FAIL course counts towards the minor.
