Prerequisites


Notes:


  • Practicum course work must be approved by the Spanish faculty prior to enrollment.
  • Some of the above requirements may be satisfied by Study Abroad courses. It is required that all Spanish minors planning to study abroad seek the advice of a Spanish faculty member before going out of the country. A Spanish Study Abroad Course Equivalency Request Form, available on the CML website, must also be completed and approved to facilitate course transfer. Failure to do so may result in some credits not being awarded for experience abroad.
  • Native Spanish speakers with sufficient prior college-level preparation may enroll in any upper-level course with the permission of the instructor.
