"We cannot limit our reading to works from the past or a single tradition, but rather should explore a wide range of texts and perspectives."

Lindenwood University offers a Spanish Minor. A minor is simply a secondary academic subject to add to your knowledge, whether it is of professional or personal interest.
Our minor requires 21 credit hours, but unlike most other degrees in the St. Louis area, you don’t need to come in with knowledge, since credits at the 100-level count for the minor!
You can also test in and start the minor at your current language level and further your preparation with classes on culture and experiential learning opportunities such as internships and real-life language application.
You will study composition and conversation in Spanish, as well as study literature. This minor, coupled with a major of your choice, can make you a more desirable candidate to potential employers because of your global competency skills.
Spanish Minor Students participate in Day of the Dead celebrations by creating their own altars.
Students who have earned the Missouri Seal of Biliteracy may receive up to 12 hours of college credit. Six of the credits awarded through this process will be accepted as Foreign Language coursework within Lindenwood’s General Education curriculum (GE-HC: Foreign Language / Human Diversity). Lindenwood offers the added benefit of waiving any transcription fees for credits awarded in this manner. For more information, consult Lindenwood University's policy on credit for prior learning.
