Spanish Major

Requirements for the Spanish Major

Prerequisites:
Concurrent enrollment is permitted. All three prerequisites must be completed before studying more advanced levels of literature or civilization and culture; however, the Spanish major can be declared at any time.

• Spanish 223: Introduction to Hispanic Cultures
• Spanish 224: Introduction to Hispanic Literatures
• Spanish 226: Intermediate Language Practice with Emphasis on Writing and Grammar (or higher language placement as determined by Placement exam)

  Track A: Language and Hispanic Studies
  Track B: Literature and Hispanic Studies

Major Blocks:
A reminder that a major block is placed on Spanish 325 and 468 for registering purposes in the fall and spring. If you plan to major in Spanish and want to take either of these classes in the fall or spring, you must declare your major at least four weeks prior to your assigned class registration time. No exceptions to this rule. If you do not declare your Spanish major at least four weeks prior to your registration time, you will likely need to wait until a later semester to take either of these classes.

Oral Proficiency Testing:
In accordance with the College of Letters and Science regulations concerning program assessment, the Spanish program periodically carries out an evaluation of the language proficiency of Spanish majors. This could affect you in the following way:
Before you graduate, you may be required to take an oral proficiency test in Spanish. The Department will contact you if and when you are required to take this test. The results of this test will be treated anonymously and will in no way affect your academic record or progress.
