Degree Plan
The Spanish major consist of a minimum of 30 credit hours of upper-division (3000 and 4000) Spanish courses, at least 15 credit hours of which must be courses at the 4000 level either on campus or in the Mérida Program. No grade lower than “C” counts toward a major.
The achievement of majors is assessed by requiring each major to prepare a student exit portfolio of work undertaken in 3000- and 4000-level classes. It must be submitted in the last semester of course work. Each graduating major is required to make an oral presentation before the Spanish faculty and interested students during the student’s last semester of course work. The presentation is on a topic chosen from one or more of the upper-division Spanish courses and reflects the depth of knowledge the student has acquired in this program.
