Spanish, B.A.

Spanish majors complete 30 hours at the 3000 and 4000 levels, with a minimum of 15 hours at the 4000 level. The 30 hours include Composition in Spanish (SPAN 3003 ), Explication of Hispanic Literary Texts (SPAN 3033 ), and Introduction to Spanish Linguistics (SPAN 3123 ). In addition, majors fulfill a culture requirement by completing The Culture of Spain (SPAN 3013 ), Latin American Cultures (SPAN 3023 ), or Spanish Film (SPAN 3333 ), by completing the equivalent of one of these courses during a study abroad experience, or by enrolling in an approved “Language Intensive” class offered outside of the Department of Languages in which a significant portion of the coursework is completed in Spanish. Although students who choose the “Language Intensive” option fulfill the culture requirement, the course itself does not count toward the major. Spanish education majors take Methods of Teaching Languages (SPAN 4003 ) as part of their major, or Spanish majors may take LANG 4003  in place of a 3000-level elective course.
