Spanish for Professionals Minor (SPNP)

The Spanish for Professionals Minor program helps build proficiency and currency in spoken Spanish and develops cultural awareness, so students can interact with Spanish speakers in an accurate and successful manner in the workplace while traveling, or in other social contexts. If students are working towards a career in business, education, social work, journalism, or in the medical field, or if they are pursuing an interdisciplinary program of studies, a minor in Spanish will be an invaluable asset for their career placement after college.
