A Spanish minor allows you to continue developing your language skills and cultural insights, no matter your major. With six courses, you can complete a Spanish minor, and some students complete many of their requirements during study abroad. If you received a score of 4 or 5 on the Spanish AP exam, you already have credit for two courses in the minor (SPAN 200 and 204).
For questions about the Spanish major or minor, contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Ann Abbott (arabbott@illinois.edu) or our advisor, Mr. Brady Hughes (bahughe2@illinois.edu).

Or, one 200-level SPAN course can be substituted with a language course in CATL, BASQ, PORT or LAST (Quechua), from among the following options: BASQ 401, BASQ 402; CATL 401, CATL 402, PORT 401, PORT 402; and LAST 445.
