In addition to fulfilling the general distribution requirements for a Bachelor of Arts degree established by the School of Liberal Arts, the Spanish major must complete 30 credit hours in courses at the 300 and 400 levels (12 of which must be completed on the IUPUI campus) with a grade of C (2.0) or higher.
Required courses at the 300 level are S313, S323, S326, S360, and S363.
Required courses at the 400 level are one course in literature (S407, S408, S431, S432, S445, S450, S455, S457, S461, S471, S472, S477, or S495), one course in culture and civilization (S411 or S412), one course in linguistics (S409, S410, S425, S427, or S428), one elective, and the senior capstone S487 or S498).
Senior Capstone
Only majors with senior standing may register for S487 Capstone Internship or S498 Capstone Seminar in Spanish with authorization. Working with a project director, students will prepare a learning portfolio that integrates their undergraduate study through writing and reading projects, discussions with their capstone director, a research or internship project, and a final oral presentation.
Teacher Certification
Teacher certification is obtained through the School of Education. Students who wish to pursue certification at the secondary level must complete all professional courses required by the School of Education and should work with a School of Education advisor in consultation with a Spanish advisor.
