The Foreign Languages program currently offers general education courses in Spanish. The purpose of the program is to offer professional training in Spanish, and to service those departments that have a foreign language requirement. French courses that may satisfy general education requirements in certain disciplines may be offered beginning Spring 2010.
Requirements
Information on the Spanish major and minor is being retained for purposes of future reference. A Spanish major in the College of Arts and Social Sciences must complete thirty-six (36) hours including Spanish 101 and 102 for a B.A. degree.
A minor in Spanish consists of eighteen (18) hours including 101 and 102. Spanish 211, 222, 350, and 360 are required to meet the minor requirements.
Entrance requirements for all students in a foreign language program include a C average in the four basic courses: 101, 102, 211, 222. Students must demonstrate an interest in Hispanic culture and a commitment to travel abroad. The exit requirements for Spanish majors consist of: a minimum 2.0 average for all major courses and passing a written departmental test.
It is recommended that all students in the elementary courses attend the Language Laboratory and/or the Learning Resource Center as directed by the instructor and prescribed by the Department. Any foreign language requirement must be satisfied in the same language and courses must be taken in sequential order and only one course per semester, 101, 102, 211, and 222/223. This means that 101 must be completed before taking 102, 102 before taking 211, and 211 before taking 222 or 223.
In some cases students can be allowed to take SPAN-211N and SPAN-222N the same semester. SPAN-211N is usually offered in the Fall, and 222N/223N in the Spring. Students who minor or major in Spanish can take SPAN-222N and SPAN-350N or 360N concurrently. Students may test out of SPAN-101N, 102N and 211N upon recommendation of a Foreign Language instructor or the Chair of the Department. Courses beyond 222 are designed for majors and minors. Enrollment in these courses is by departmental approval only. Students whose native language is Spanish must satisfy their foreign language requirement in a language other than their own, or take courses above 300 level in their native language. This must be done only after consultation with the Foreign Language department Chair and the College of Arts and Sciences Dean.
