Spanish (Minor)

Department Website

Program Description

Spanish is a dynamic global language, spoken by millions across five continents, with rich historical and cultural relations to the United States, where Spanish is the nation's second language and is tied to important debates on migration, citizenship, and identity. This five-course (20-credit) minor allows students to advance and demonstrate their fluency in the language and to engage the complex cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. With a minimum requirement of one advanced Spanish course in the study of culture (a “300-level” course), students are free to choose their other four electives according to their interests, delving deeper into the study of culture, or exploring Spanish in applied contexts, such as translation, creative writing, or studying Spanish for medicine or business. Students pursuing the minor are encouraged to study away at NYU Madrid or NYU Buenos Aires, where they may complete a significant portion of the minor through site-specific classes and immersive experiences. In addition, minors may participate in internships and collaborate on the online undergraduate journal, Esferas. Students interested in the major track in Spanish should consult the program page for Spanish and Portuguese (BA).
