The Spanish language is ever-growing in popularity, and now almost 15% of Americans speak it.

Having an enriched knowledge of Latin culture and the Spanish language is a valuable trait in modern America. This minor can help you enrich a skill set that is valuable in health care, education, business, social work, and communication fields.

This minor also promotes two significant outcomes:

  1. Raise awareness of social justice issues related to Latin American populations and Latinos in the United States
  2. Encourage local, national, and international engagement and advocacy toward social justice issues in Latin America and Latinos in the United States
