All Spanish majors are strongly encouraged to take: HUFS 299 - Faith, Life and Culture: Travel Practicum, HUFS 334 - Community Spanish, and/or to study abroad for a semester. See the Department of Modern Languages for more information. Admission Requirements All students intending to minor or major in Spanish must: 1.

Spanish language learners (not heritage speakers) must complete HUFS 210 with a grade of “B-” or higher, or obtain a satisfactory score on a normed placement exam given by the department, in order to proceed with the minor. Students with AP Spanish Language scores of 4 or higher will be placed into HUFS 230 (your AP language credits with count for HUFS 210). Students with AP Spanish Literature scores of 4 or better will be given credit for HUFS 290 (but will still be required to take HUFS 210 unless the department determines their language level is beyond the level of the course, in which case they may substitute a higher-level course). 2.

Formulate questions about cultural and linguistic difference and critically evaluate other cultures in relation to themselves (ULO 1). 3. Demonstrate the ability to interact effectively in a cross-cultural context, whether local or global, while exhibiting humility in relation to other cultures and languages (ULO 2). 4. Demonstrate the ability to integrate their faith into cross-cultural interactions in the target language (ULO 2).

Credits are not awarded for waived requirements. Program Courses Students can be admitted into the Spanish minor or major after completing the G.E. sequence. Students desiring to minor in Spanish are strongly encouraged to begin during their freshman and sophomore years. Placement in Spanish classes will be based on a mandatory department assessment. Students entering the program with less than two years of high school Spanish or one semester of college Spanish will automatically be placed in the first course. Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment must be retested and placed accordingly. Advancement from one course in the lower division sequence to the next will require demonstration of proficiency. The Spanish major and minor allow students to proceed through a choice of two course tracks, one for Spanish learners and the other for heritage speakers of Spanish. Courses with numbers up through HUFS 220 must be taken in sequence. If a student’s language ability
