Major Requirements
42-44 credits
Students must take language courses in ascending sequence; students may not count for credit toward any Spanish program (major or a minor) a lower language course than one they have already completed. Students who choose to take a course at The College of Idaho that is lower than a transfer course from another institution forfeit the equivalent transfer credits toward the major (e.g., a student may not count Spanish I from The College of Idaho and Spanish I credits from another institution).
At a minimum, one-third of the coursework for the major must be completed at The College of Idaho. Students who place out of language credits will still be required to complete 16 Spanish credits. Additional credits may be earned from other Spanish courses. Students who begin any Spanish program (major or minor) with high language proficiency should speak with the chair of the Spanish Department regarding possible electives.
