Spanish minor.. worth it?

<p>Very, very few Kelley students do a double major in a foreign language, as that requires getting a BA, which is at least 50 credits beyond the Kelley BBS requirements.</p>

<p>Many do a foreign language minor, because if you test into high enough semester, you can do the minor and do the field specialization option in “Global Studies and Languages” with a lot fewer classes than it takes to the the distribution option. Say you test into HISP S280, take the class and pass it. That gives you 13 Spanish credits (4 for freshman year; six for S200 and S250, and three for S280). Then you just need to take five more three credit Spanish classes to be done with the 27 credit hour requirement. So that is six three-credit classes at IU to get the minor AND fulfill the distribution option, instead of nine three-credit classes at IU to fulfill the 27 credit hour core taking A&H, S&H, and N&M classes. And you also fulfill the International Dimension at the same time. </p>

<p>If you co-major in international business you have to do overseas study and a lot of other stuff. A lot of people with the international business co-major actually do minor in a foreign language, as they take language classes abroad instead of at IU in order to meet the minimum six study abroad credit hours.</p>

<p>International Business Co-Major Requirements: D301, D302, required foreign language study (minimum of six credit hours at 200 level or higher), required overseas study (approved program, minimum of six credit hours), six elective credit hours from D490, D496, F494 (Finance majors only), G494, L411, M401 (Marketing majors only), and X480, as well as an additional three elective credit hours from the above list or from ECON-E 303, ECON-E 309, ECON-E 331, ECON-E 332, ECON-E 337, EALC-E 393 and EALC-E 394. If EALC courses are used for the International Business Co-Major, they may not double-count for the 27-hour Core or for Supplemental General Education credit.</p>

<p>You said you tested into S250, then said it was S200.</p>
