Notes:

Degree offerings in the School of International Letters & Cultures are flexible liberal arts majors. Students must bear in mind that the credits toward the major and minor can only be accumulated after completion of preparatory language courses. These preparatory courses are not major requirements and do not count toward the hours the student needs to complete degree requirements. Demonstrated proficiency at the intermediate level is required for enrollment in major requirement courses. Students are strongly encouraged to contact an academic advisor regarding clarifications on course applicability.

Students majoring in Spanish will choose between tracks in either Literature and Culture or Linguistics. Students should make a decision after the completion of SPA 325 and/or SPA 412. While there are common requirements between both tracks, there are also differences in the number of credit hours required in track-level courses. Students are strongly advised to see an academic advisor to discuss these differences. Before meeting with an academic advisor students should consult their D.A.R.S. report to become acquainted with the differences in track-level requirements. Regardless of which track the student chooses, s/he will graduate with a B.A. in Spanish. The track denotation will appear on the transcript.
