Upon completion of Thiel’s minor in Spanish Language and Culture, students should be able to:

• Speak, read, write, and comprehend Spanish at the intermediate-high level on a variety of current cultural topics.
• Demonstrate knowledge of the geography and culture of countries where the language is spoke and of Spain and Latin America’s historical and contemporary position in the modern world.
• Recognize the historical, cultural, and creative contexts of Hispanic cultures and effectively articulate how such factors shape their world perspectives.
• Understand the impact Hispanic cultures and the Spanish language have had and continue to have on other cultures.
• Respect cultural differences leading to effective interaction within a Spanish-speaking society and in any culturally diverse situation.
