Modified Major in Hispanic Studies

The Modified Major in Hispanic Studies consists of 10 (ten) courses, at least six of which must be in Spanish and the remaining four from appropriate Major-level courses offered by other departments. Among the six courses in Spanish one course can be in English. Approval for this option will be granted only for a course in English taught in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and taken after a student has completed SPAN 20. Students will work closely with the Major Advisor in coordinating their course of study.

For specifics on each of the requirements consult the ORC/Smartcatalog

Prerequisite: SPAN 9 or SPAN 15

The six Spanish courses must be distributed as follows:

1. SPAN 20
2. Survey Courses and Foreign Study Programs: SPAN 30 - 36
3. Topics Courses: SPAN 40 - 77
4. Culminating Experience: Senior Seminar (SPAN 80)
5. Independent Study: SPAN 83

Students pursuing a Modified Major in Spanish must take the Senior Seminar (SPAN 80) as one of their six upper-level courses. This course also fulfills the Culminating Experience required of all seniors.

*SPAN 83 is optional. It is listed to allow a student to apply to do Independent Study work and have it count towards their Major or Modified Major.
