Simpson University offers a Spanish minor under the Communication Department. This major is a total of 21 credits and is ideal for anyone who wishes to develop their knowledge, understanding, and use of the Spanish language.

This is a great minor for anyone who wants to work with Hispanic culture and people. It is also a great pair with any major, like the Spanish Journalism specialization of the Communication major, Cross-Cultural Studies or Psychology.

Take a look at some of the courses that are available as a part of the Spanish minor.

Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) is one of the most valuable tools an educator can have. The ability to speak English opens up many doors both nationally and globally.

The TESOL minor is a great option for students who wish to work with other cultures. Whether you are focusing on missions, education or both, this minor will not only prepare you for teaching English, but it will also develop your communication and linguistic skills as a whole.

Take a look at some of the courses you could expect from a TESOL minor.
