Furthermore, our innovative curriculum extends beyond the traditional spaces of the Hispanic world to explore and celebrate the diversity of the Spanish-speaking communities today, including the vibrant and varied communities of the United States. <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nnovation extends to strengthening the interconnections between the humanities and other fields.<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 Such a comprehensive approach to Spanish Language Studies prepares students for success in graduate school as well as a wide range of careers in business, education, community organizations, law, communications, and government.\u00a0 <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to empowering students through the acquisition of another language, our aim is to contribute to\u00a0 the values and knowledge embodied by the humanities and liberal studies, such as tolerance, cultural competence, and social justice, in these other disciplines.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Spanish majors are made up of both native or heritage speakers and non-native second language learners.

Spanish Language Studies majors can complete a second major, teacher education, or a minor in most disciplines and graduate on time with a clear plan. \u00a0Often times, studying abroad facilitates this process. \u00a0The secret is getting good advisement from your Spanish Language Studies major advisor as early as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Students majoring in Spanish Language Studies are required to pursue an approved summer, semester- or year-long study abroad program in a Spanish-speaking country, a service-learning experience, or an internship program.

Thus, by studying Spanish or any second language, you can expand your knowledge of vocabulary, grammar, idiomatic expressions and other linguistic features of their own language.<\/p>\n<p>With only 5 required courses, two at the intermediate level, two at the 300 level and one at the 400 level, the minor is designed to pair easily with any another discipline. \u00a0You may choose from a list of exciting and varied upper level courses to fit your interests and goals including such topics as Nueva York Latino, Hispanic Caribbean Writers, Popular Culture and Medical Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>Students minoring in Spanish Language Studies are encouraged to pursue study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country, a service-learning experience, or an internship program to further their skills.\u00a0 You may transfer in two out of the five required courses from such programs. Summer programs generally offer two courses, which can be counted towards the minor.\u00a0 We offer summer, semester- or year-long abroad programs at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deusto.es\/\">University of Deusto<\/a> in Bilbao, Spain and many other programs in a variety of countries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Minor <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<ol>\n<li>Students are required to take 5 courses (i.e., 20 credits) to complete this minor.<\/li>\n<li>Courses fulfilling the requirements for the primary or second major may count towards the requirements of the minor, but may not exceed one-half of the credits required in the minor.

Bear in mind that CLEP credits are considered transfer credits and students are limited to two courses taken off campus towards the minor. This will be important if you are interested in study abroad. \u00a0Information on STAMP, CLEP and NYU testing is available at the Testing Website (link). \u00a0Please speak with a Spanish Language Studies advisor if you are a native speaker or have questions about your placement.<\/p>\n<p>** Students seeking credits for study abroad courses must get approval from world language Conveners prior to travel.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Related Information <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/catalog-2023-2024\/general-education\/\">General Education Requirements<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/mygraduationplan\/\">Four Year Plan<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/catalog-2023-2024\/grad-requirements\/\">Graduation Requirements<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/worldlanguages\/\">World Languages Convening Group Website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/\">School of Humanities and Global Studies Website<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/hgs\/faculty\/\">Faculty Profiles<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Four Year Plan Website: School of Humanities and Global Studies<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":144,"featured_media":0,"parent":1347,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1363","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
