Spanish, B.A.

Courses in Spanish are designed to develop skills in the use of the Spanish language as well as an appreciation of the language, literature, history and culture of the Spanish-speaking peoples of the world. Students majoring in Spanish must complete a minimum of 30 semester hours beyond the 100-level courses. Certification to teach Spanish is possible for students who also complete applicable requirements of the School of Education . Education majors planning to teach Spanish are required to spend at least one academic semester or a total of 15 weeks abroad studying the language for which they seek licensure. Although we suggest spending the entire time in one extended visit, students may combine visits to reach the total as long as one visit is a minimum of eight weeks long. The program and projected plan of study should be approved by the student’s academic advisor in the Department of World Languages, Literatures and Cultures prior to enrolling in the program.
