Majors in Spanish will complete a program of study that hinges on two equally important aspects: increasing the fluency and accuracy of students’ communication in Spanish, and fostering a profound understanding and appreciation of key cultural aspects of the Hispanic World (which includes, among other things, history, literature, art, music, etc.). Majors in Spanish will achieve these learning goals through the completion of 10 courses (three of which may be taken abroad). Although not required, students are strongly encouraged to spend at least one semester in an approved program of study or internship in a Spanish-speaking country.
Requirements
The major in Spanish requires the completion of 10 upper-level courses. At least seven must be at the 300-level; a maximum of three may be at the 200-level. One course offered by the department at the 200- or 300-level and taught in English may count towards the Spanish major.
