My son’s a Spanish minor. The 14 credits that the CLEP would provide credit for cover the 100 and 200 level courses. The Spanish minor requires 15 hours of credit in addition to those 14 credit introductory courses. So, even with full CLEP credit, there would still be 5 required courses - a grammar course, a conversation course, a culture course, and 2 other 300-400 level electives of the students choice.

From: Spanish Program – University of Alabama College of Arts & Sciences;

The SPANISH MINOR has emerged over the last few years as one of the most enticing options for students in business, criminal justice, political science and many other areas of study. To complete this minor students must take 15 hours on the 300-400 level where there are three required courses: SP 353 (Conversation), SP 356 (Grammar and Composition), and SP 364 or SP 366 (Civilization). The remaining six hours must come from courses on the 300-400 level. Students in business have found that the Spanish business courses (Commercial, Technical Writing, Economics, Politics, and Media) enhance their marketability significantly.

Requirements for the minor in Spanish. The Spanish minor requires 15 semester hours in courses numbered 300 or above, including SP 353, SP 356, and SP 364 or SP 366. A minimum of 6 hours at the 300 or 400 level must be earned on this campus.
