Hispanic Studies Minor

The minor consists of six courses taken in the Hispanic Studies Department:

Four courses in Spanish at the 200 level or higher.  First-Year Seminars and ConnCourses offered in Spanish by members of the department may also be counted toward this requirement.

Two additional courses in Spanish at the 300 level or higher.

One course in English, taught or cross-listed by the Hispanic Studies Department, may be substituted for one of the courses above, as long as the student enrolls in an accompanying FLAC section.  With departmental guidance, students are strongly urged to study, work, and complete internships abroad or virtually, to participate in Centers, Pathways, SATAs, and TRIPs, and to integrate those experiences into coursework within the department.  The Hispanic Studies Department advises student projects from global or local internships, faculty/student collaborations, SIPSs, Individual Studies, or individual research in Spanish.  With departmental approval, up to one course may be accepted from endorsed study away programs and two from SATA programs.  Students are strongly encouraged to study, work, and complete internships abroad, and to integrate those experiences into coursework within the department.  All courses taken in Spanish, regardless of level, count toward Connecticut College’s World Languages and Cultures requirement.
