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, 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 professional or 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.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate the acquisition of advanced cognitive and linguistic knowledge (ULO 1).
- Formulate questions about cultural and linguistic difference and critically evaluate other cultures in relation to themselves (ULO 1).
- Interact effectively in a cross-cultural context, whether local or global, while exhibiting humility in relation to other cultures and languages (ULO 2).
- Integrate Christian faith into cross-cultural interactions in the target language (ULO 2).
- Communicate orally at advanced target language proficiency by engaging in conversation in a clearly participatory manner (ULO 3).
- 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 section of this catalog.
Admission Requirements
All students intending to minor or major in Spanish must:
- Place into the correct level by department assessment or successfully complete the prerequisite coursework in order to start the program. All students must pass the previous course 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 major or minor. Students with AP Spanish Language scores of 4 or higher will be given 4 credits for SPAN 200 but will need to take the placement test to determine the appropriate entry course. Students with AP Spanish Literature scores of 4 or higher will be given 4 credits for SPAN 351 but will need to take the placement test to determine the appropriate entry course.
- File an application with the Department of Modern Languages and complete an interview with a faculty member.
Program Courses
Students desiring to minor in Spanish are strongly encouraged to begin during their freshman and sophomore years. Placement in Spanish classes will be based on a mandatory department assessment. Students entering the program with less than two years of high school Spanish or one semester of college Spanish will automatically be placed in the first course, either SPAN 100 or SPAN 215. Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment must be retested and placed accordingly. Advancement from one course in the lower-division sequence to the next will require demonstration of proficiency.
The Spanish major and minor allow students to proceed through two course tracks, one for second language learners of Spanish and the other for heritage learners of Spanish. A student’s progression through the program relies heavily on the sequencing of courses; therefore, it is important that students work closely with the Spanish program advisors. Students whose level of language places them into the 300-level of courses may substitute higher level courses for required courses at the 200-level with the permission of the Department of Modern Languages.
Curriculum Requirements
A Generalist in Spanish must complete 30 credits as detailed below. Students may substitute alternate upper-level courses with permission of the department. All Generalists must complete either SPAN 334, SPAN 335, SPAN 485, or complete an approved study abroad program.
