Students are required to complete the language sequence up to and including Advanced SPAN 211 or demonstrate equivalent proficiency that would allow for advanced placement.
The major consists of a minimum of seven courses beyond Advanced Spanish.
Following completion of the language sequence, majors are required to take one survey of culture/civilization from:
SPAN 303 | Texts and Contexts: Iberia (pre-1900) | |
SPAN 304 | Texts and Contexts: Latin America (pre-1900) | |
SPAN 313 | Texts and Contexts: Iberia (post-1900) | |
SPAN 314 | Texts and Contexts: Latin America (post-1900) | |
SPAN 315 | Introduction to Visual Cultures of the Iberian Peninsula: Spanish Culture and Society through Film | |
Two surveys of literature from:
SPAN 310 | Survey of Spanish Literature I | |
SPAN 311 | Survey of Spanish Literature II | |
SPAN 317 | Visual Cultures of US Latinx | |
SPAN 318 | Survey of Spanish American Literature II | |
Three seminars from:
SPAN 425 | Don Quixote | |
| And | |
SPAN 435 | Research Seminar in Hispanic Literature and Civilization | |
| One additional seminar from | |
SPAN 370 | Seminar on Translation | |
SPAN 421 | Seminar in the Literature and Culture of the New World | |
SPAN 428 | Seminar in Modern Spanish American Literature and Culture | |
One course in Hispanic studies:
SPAN | Any 300/400-level SPAN course | |
Designed to meet the specific needs of majors interested in studying abroad or teaching, the Hispanic studies requirement may be fulfilled by choosing from FLL 380 or FLL 381 (the teaching internship in Spanish), or by taking any 300- or 400-level course in Spanish. By senior year, all candidates for the major are required to take SPAN 425 and SPAN 435.
In lieu of SPAN 435 and a course in Hispanic studies (described above), students in their junior year may propose a research topic for an honors thesis (SPAN 495, SPAN 496) to be completed during their senior year.
