LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — The University of Kansas says it will respond to strong student demand and offer a minor in Spanish, beginning in the fall semester.

The university announced Tuesday that students minoring in Spanish will take a combination of language, culture and literature courses, plus a new Spanish 101 course. That course will be designed to review the opportunities that come with the degree.

The Lawrence Journal-World reports that the university receives 60 to 80 inquiries a year from students about a Spanish minor. The Student Senate passed a resolution in 2012 supporting the minor.
