Spanish, BA


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Programs of Study A through Z

The modern language program in Spanish is designed to provide students with appropriate linguistic skills to develop a knowledge and sympathetic understanding of cultural differences and to inform them of the civilization, culture, literature and other social and artistic achievements of the respective countries. The program is flexible enough to accommodate students seeking a degree in a modern language, a degree in international business or international economics, a double major or simply a minor in a modern language. The Spanish major earns a B.A. degree. One year of study is available in Chinese, French and German.

Honors

Students majoring in Spanish and judged qualified by the faculty may, upon invitation, elect to pursue honors work in Spanish. To graduate ”With Honors in Spanish,” students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0/B, a minimum major GPA of 3.2, and complete nine credits of honors courses in the major, including Spanish 499. In addition, they must pass an oral examination and be approved by the faculty. The 499 course does not count toward the major requirements.

Study Abroad

Students are encouraged to study abroad for a semester or an entire year since only total immersion in the language will ensure the desired level of proficiency. The College of Humanities and Social Sciences, in conjunction with the Office of International Education and faculty advisors, will make every effort to assist students in their study abroad experience.
