Applications are accepted in the fall term by October 1st and the spring term by February 15th. (The deadline is February 1st for students who will graduate in May.)
Please keep the following in mind:
1. You must have a declared major before declaring a minor.
2. You may NOT declare a Spanish major and a Spanish minor.
3. Credits applied toward the Spanish minor may NOT also count toward completion of a major.
4. Courses taken on a CR/NC basis may not be included in the minor program.
Minor in Spanish
A minor in Spanish consists of 21 credits (3 prerequisite and 18 required) of Spanish study at the 3000 level or above.
1. Prerequisite: SPAN 3010 with grade of B- or better
2. SPAN 3300, Texts and Interpretation
3. One survey course (SPAN 3400s)
4. One 3000-level elective
- A 3000-level language course can be taken simultaneously with SPAN 3300
- An additional survey (3400) may only be taken after 3300 is completed, but can be taken simultaneously with the survey taken to satisfy requirement (3)
5. A 4000-level elective
6. A 4000-level elective
7. A 4000-level elective
Students may count up to nine hours of credit earned in an approved study abroad program toward their Spanish minor. The restriction to nine hours does not apply to coursework done in UVA’s Hispanic Studies Program in Valencia. Since those courses earn UVA credit, they are considered interchangeable with courses taken in Charlottesville.
