Introduction

Congratulations on being accepted into a Bachelor of Arts degree program! You are embarking on an academic journey that will offer you the best of a broad liberal education with the ability to specialize in various fields of study.

Studying Spanish will provide you with a multidisciplinary examination of Spanish language, literature, culture, art and history. This program will allow you to improve your Spanish language skills while developing your awareness and understanding of Hispanic cultures. During the course of your studies, you'll gain creative thinking skills, research and analytical capabilities, intercultural awareness, and the ability to fluently communicate in Spanish.

Placement in Introductory Courses in Spanish

Students who register in introductory courses in Spanish are required to complete an online placement form to indicate whether they have taken a previous course in the language or lived in an environment where that language is spoken. The online placement form will be available to registered students in D2L a month before the first day of classes.  

Students who indicate on the online placement form that they have taken a previous course in the language or lived in an environment where that language is spoken will be required to meet with the program’s undergraduate advisor and will be informed of the appropriate course in which to register. Students who do not complete the online placement form, or who are asked to consult with the advisor but fail to do so, will be removed from the course by the drop deadline.

Native speakers are not eligible to take language courses by special assessment or to receive advanced credit for them.

Students starting at a higher level than Spanish 201 must replace those language courses from which they have been exempted by any Spanish non-language courses (literature, linguistics, civilization, culture) or by any senior Romance Studies (ROST) courses (e.g., ROST 399, ROST 499)

Tip:
Remember to register for both fall and winter semesters at the same time.
