• SPAN 301, 302, 303 (or equivalents: 314-315-316, 310, 330) Advanced Grammar, Lexicon and Stylistics (5,5,5)
  
  
• Four 300-level electives** (SPAN 392 does NOT count towards the minor; 400-level courses may be substituted for electives, provided their prerequisites have been met) (3-5, 3-5, 3-5, 3-5)
  
  **If you declared a minor in Spanish prior to Winter 2011, depending on courses selected, DARS exceptions may be required to complete requirements. Contact departmental adviser at spsadv@uw.edu with DARS concerns.

Restrictions: Only one course whose instructional materials are primarily in English may apply to the minor. SPAN 327 is not open to heritage/native speakers, and may not apply to the minor.

Important! 300-level major and minor requirements are different. Students who change from a minor to a major must take all required courses not taken previously (i.e. SPAN 321, 322, 323, and a SPAN 300-level literature elective), some of which are offered only once each academic year, and all of which are prerequisites for 400-level coursework. Students considering declaring a major in the future should review the Spanish Major Requirements and Course Progression Chart, and take 300-level courses which fulfill major requirements.

Declaring Spanish as a Minor

1. To declare a minor in Spanish, students must declare a major and have completed a minimum of 45 credits.

2. Students must meet with their major advisor to sign off on minor declaration paperwork in order to ensure that they meet university satisfactory progress requirements.
