Foreign Language Minor in Foreign Language in Spanish
The foreign language minor is designed for students who plan to work with clients, associates, or students for whom the foreign language is the native language or for students who have an intrinsic interest in the nature and structure of language. To earn the minor, all the coursework must be in the same language, and students must complete at least 50% of the required foreign language coursework at NLU. The specific language(s) offered at any given time will be determined by the need and demand as expressed by students and baccalaureate programs. The foreign language minor fulfills the requirements for the foreign language specialization in the English major.
For those students not pursuing a minor, but interested in taking a foreign language, the Spanish language courses may be used as humanities elective credit.

Minor in Foreign Language in English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL)
The foreign language minor in ESOL for non native English speaking students is designed for students who plan to work in an international or bilingual/ bicultural context. The minor is a progression of courses that provide students with a sound base in the four language skill areas of reading, writing, speaking, and listening within a grammar-based curriculum. In these courses, students learn to apply the course content to increasingly sophisticated sociocultural and discourse situations and through this enhance their understanding of nuances in the language.
The foreign language minor in ESOL is open to students who have been tested and placed by the Department of Language Studies in ESOL Level 5 or lower. The foreign language minor in ESOL is not open to students majoring in English. To earn the minor, ESOL Level 5 must be completed at NLU.
