  SPA 314  counts toward the Spanish major or minor and fulfills the UB Curriculum Communication Literacy 2 (CL2) requirement as well.

  Three courses for the minor may fulfill the UB Curriculum Global Pathway requirement through the Language and Culture track. Alternatively, courses for the minor may help fulfill the Global Reflection track or the International Experience track of the Global Pathway.

  **These totals may vary depending on the level at which the student begins study at UB. Students demonstrably prepared to begin at the 200 level are deemed to have satisfied the prerequisites, and for them the total credits required for the minor are thus 18 rather than 24.
