Spanish Minor

Admission and Grade Requirements

Students minoring in Spanish must maintain a minimum overall GPA of 2.3, and a GPA of 2.5 in Spanish.  The minimum grade acceptable in courses applied to the minor is C (2.0).  No course taken on a pass/fail basis may be credited toward the minor in Spanish. 

Upon declaring a minor in Spanish, each student will be assigned to a faculty advisor, with whom the student should consult at least once per semester thereafter.  It is important that students minoring in Spanish have their transcripts reviewed by a departmental advisor before enrolling in their final 30 credit hours at UC Denver, to preclude a delay in graduation.  Students presenting four years of high school Spanish (Level IV) for admission to the minor must see a Spanish Advisor before enrolling in courses for the minor.  Students with Advanced Placement credits from high school should see a Spanish advisor about course equivalencies.  The Department of Modern Languages does not accept CLEP credits.

Requirements for the Spanish Minor

Students minoring in Spanish for the BA degree must complete a minimum of 15 semester hours at the upper division level (courses numbered 3000 and higher).  A minimum of 9 of those semester hours must be taken from the faculty in Spanish at the downtown Denver campus.
