Major
The requirements for Spanish majors include the general requirements of the School of Arts and Sciences and some knowledge of a second foreign language is strongly recommended.

The major in Spanish consists of 36 credits earned in courses taken beyond the elementary level. SPA 101-102 Elementary Spanish does not count towards the major.
