A language test given during fall orientation determines placement in Spanish courses. Qualified first-year students may take courses at the 200 level or above.

It is recommended that students round out the Spanish major with complementary courses in areas such as art, history, economics, business and non-Hispanic languages and literatures.

All majors must take at least one 300- or 400-level course during the senior year. 300-level literature courses and SPAN 470 may be taken more than once for credit, provided the content is different. Only independent studies approved by the chair of the modern languages department will count toward the major or minor.

Senior majors will demonstrate that they have achieved these three goals in one of the following ways: 1) by completing the Senior Seminar; 2) by writing and defending a senior thesis; or, 3) by discussing a paper written for a 300-level class in an exit interview in the spring of the senior year.
