Students who have previously taken Spanish must complete the Modern Foreign Language placement test to determine entry level. Students must take languages courses in ascending sequence; students may not take for credit 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. At minimum one-third of coursework for the major must be completed at The College of Idaho. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in at least one term of study abroad or to live in a community where Spanish is the dominant language. Students may elect to minor in Spanish (Humanities & Fine Arts PEAK) or in Spanish Foundations (Professional Studies & Enhancements PEAK), but not both. Spanish majors may not minor in either Spanish or Spanish Foundations. Students who wish to teach Spanish at the secondary level should consult with the Education Department for specific certification requirements.
