The Spanish Minor
A minor in Spanish is a very useful complement to majors in many other disciplines such as social service, nursing, teaching, business, hotel administration, etc. A very practical consideration must be mentioned: Spanish is the second language of our country. Increasingly, employers in government at municipal, state and federal levels and business as well as related careers, are viewing such experience and language skills very favorably.

The minor is declared when the fifth course is being taken. The student should obtain the declaration form in the Advising office, complete it and bring it to the Spanish office to be signed by the coordinator.
The Latin American Studies Minor
Spanish program faculty coordinate an interdisciplinary minor in Latin American Studies. Coursework is drawn not only from the Spanish Program, but from other programs across campus, such as the Anthropology Department, the History Department, and the Political Science Department.

Official Paperwork
You do not need to declare a minor, but you do need to submit paperwork certifying that you have completed a minor. At the beginning of your final semester of study at UNH, you should complete a certification of completion of minor form, obtain the necessary signatures, and submit it to your Dean's Office.
