The mission of the Spanish Program is to prepare students for life, work, service and scholarship in Spanish speaking communities within the U.S. and abroad. We seek to guide students to develop holistic, integrative reasoning as the foundation for service to others, work in the professions and further academic study in Spanish. Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish is conferred upon the completion of the University baccalaureate with a Spanish major in one of the three concentrations: Generalist in Spanish, Professional Spanish, and Spanish for Secondary Education. Thirty-nine credits are required, of which 24 must be upper division. A minimum grade of "C" is required for any course to be counted toward the major. All students are expected to maintain a portfolio with the department that will cumulatively showcase their progressive language development over time; the portfolio will also provide students the opportunity to integrate faith and discipline. All Spanish majors are strongly encouraged to take: HUFS 299, HUFS 334, and/or to study abroad for a semester. See the Department of Modern Languages for more information. Learning Outcomes Program Learning Outcomes Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, students will be able to: 1. Demonstrate the acquisition of advanced cognitive and linguistic knowledge (ULO 1). 2. Formulate questions about cultural and linguistic difference and critically evaluate other cultures in relation to themselves (ULO 1). 3. Interact effectively in a cross-cultural context, whether local or global, while exhibiting humility in relation to other cultures and languages (ULO 2). 4. Integrate Christian faith into cross-cultural interactions in the target language (ULO 2). 5. Communicate orally at advanced target language proficiency by engaging in conversation in a clearly participatory manner (ULO 3). 6. Demonstrate advanced proficiency in the written language by reading and interacting with texts across a range of genres and topics and writing formal and informal correspondence, narratives, descriptions, and analyses, all in the target language (ULO 3). Each Program Learning Outcome (PLO) listed above references at least one of the University Learning Outcomes (ULO 1, 2, 3), which may be found in the General Information (p. 5) section of this catalog.
