Mission & Learning Outcomes The Modern Language Department seeks to provide effective language training in the context of the Christian faith and the cultures of the respective languages that we offer. At the general education level we seek to provide an understanding of the nature of language and an intermediate level of language proficiency in the selected language (Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, German, American Sign Language). For the student who seeks to develop a mastery of Spanish, we offer a Spanish minor that will prepare students for life, work, and service in a Spanish-speaking context. The objectives of the Spanish minor are: 1) to develop the Spanish language and cultural skills of students who seek to live, work, and serve in Spanish- speaking environments in the U.S. and abroad; 2) to provide hands-on experience in serving in such an environment; and 3) to guide the students’ development of the holistic integrative reasoning that is the foundation of service to others and work in the professions. Admission Requirements All students intending to minor or major in Spanish must: Complete the required G.E. course sequence, OR place into the next level (intermediate high or above) by department assessment. 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). File an application with the Department of Modern Languages and complete an interview with a faculty member. Spanish Degree Program A Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish is offered upon the completion of University baccalaureate requirements and the Spanish major. The Spanish major consists of 39 credits, 24 of which must be upper division.
