Academic Program / Degree Requirements
This department offers the major and minor in Spanish plus coursework in French, Chinese, and American Sign Language. Students intending to teach Spanish in secondary schools must have two majors (Spanish and secondary education) and work with advisors in each field.
In all cases, we recommend that you consult with the Spanish departmental chair as early in your studies as possible in order to plan out the best yet most efficient program for you!
Requirements for Majoring in Spanish:
In addition to the degree requirements that everyone has to fulfill for a B.A. degree, to major in Spanish means that you'll need to complete the following specific demands:
- SPA 211 - Intermediate Spanish I
- SPA 212 - Intermediate Spanish II
- Plus 24 credit hours of work in Spanish beyond Intermediate Spanish
Secondary education majors have additional requirements for the education degree. You will need to consult with both your education advisor and your Spanish advisor. These additional requirements will usually be fulfilled with "elective" credits. In other words, the total number of credit hours for the degree will typically be the same as for a non-education major.
Requirements for Minoring in Spanish:
In addition to the degree requirements that everyone has to fulfill for a B.A. degree, to minor in Spanish means that you'll need to complete the following specific demands:
- Any combination of courses in Spanish at the 200-level or higher to equal 18 credit hours
