Spanish Minor

Language, Literature and Culture Overview

The Language, Literature and Culture Department aims to promote students’ competency in learning other languages, and to broaden and enrich their education through in-depth study of other cultures. Mastering a language includes listening, speaking, reading and writing proficiency.  Students can easily apply these skills to other disciplines at Clark and to their future professions. 

Students can study Arabic, ASL, Chinese, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Latin and Spanish at Clark, and can major in Ancient Civilization, Comparative Literature, French or Spanish. It is also possible, at the department’s discretion, to major in more than one language taught at Clark (the Combined Languages major). Students can also apply skills in Asian languages to an Asian Studies major and skills in Hebrew to a concentration in Jewish Studies.

The Language, Literature and Culture Department is part of the Alice Coonley Higgins School of Humanities.

Spanish Minor Requirements

In order to receive a minor in Spanish, a student needs to complete six courses in Spanish literature or culture. All the Spanish courses should be taken at the level of SPAN 131  /SPAN 132  or higher. CMLT 130  may be counted as one of two courses in English that students may take towards the Spanish minor. Some courses, with advisor approval, may be replaced by those outside the field of study but related to it (a course in Latin American history of art, for example, might be counted as one of the six courses required for a Spanish minor). Three of the six courses must be taken in residence at Clark.

Only courses with a grade of C or better may be counted towards the Spanish minor.
