Before declaring the Spanish minor, students must complete four Spanish language courses in order to gain indispensable skills to effectively read, write, and discuss in a foreign language. Students with previous Spanish experience are encouraged to take a placement exam. Students must earn a grade of B+ or higher in SPAN 0004 to declare this minor.
If you are interested in our Spanish Minor, you may email our minor advisors Paola Calahorrano (spc48@pitt.edu) or Camila Pulgar-Machado (cap199@pitt.edu) for more information.
