Spanish, B.A. Mission
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 and major requirements. The Spanish major requires the completion of a minimum of 30 credits beyond SPAN 201, 24 of which must be upper-division. A minimum grade of "C" is required for any course to be counted toward the major. All Spanish majors (except for those pursuing a secondary instruction concentration) will be required to take either SPAN 334, SPAN 335, SPAN 485 and/or complete an approved study abroad program. See the Department of Modern Languages for more information.
