Spanish is the official language of 21 countries and territories and is spoken by nearly half a billion people around the world. Acquiring a basic foundation in Spanish can be a valuable asset in many fields, from government and business to health care and education.
Program Overview
Though not as comprehensive as our major, this program will immerse you in the language offering each course entirely in Spanish. You’ll gain a cultural understanding of Spanish-speaking countries and communities around the world.
You’ll have the flexibility to shape your minor and hone your language skills in electives that explore topics such as the Spanish Caribbean, History of the Romance Languages and Spanish American Literature. In addition, Quinnipiac’s Albert Schweitzer Institute is an exciting resource, sponsoring service trips, educational projects and internship opportunities in countries including Nicaragua, Guatemala and Costa Rica.
