Hispanic Studies Minor

Minor Requirements

Every minor plan should be designed in consultation with a Department of Hispanic Studies faculty advisor and must be approved by the Chair. Minors are encouraged, but not required, to take the one-credit Junior Seminar (HISP 388 ). There are two minor tracks that students may pursue:

1. The Hispanic Studies minor requires five courses beyond HISP 204  or HISP 220 . They must include HISP 305 ; two courses at the 300 level; and two courses at the 400 level. (Care should be taken to ensure that students have completed the proper 300-level prerequisite course for any 400-level course they select.) At least one 400-level course must be taken at Macalester. With prior approval from the Chair, up to two courses successfully taken on a study abroad program can apply towards the Hispanic Studies minor.
    
2. The Hispanic Studies minor in Portuguese language, literature and culture requires five courses beyond HISP 204  or HISP 220 . They must include HISP 305 ; HISP 111  and HISP 331 ; and, with prior approval from the Chair, two courses successfully completed on a study abroad program in a Portuguese-speaking country.
