Students who place out of language credits will still be required to complete all 16 credits of the Spanish minor. Depending on where the student places in Spanish, the student will be required to take an additional 3 credits from the courses below:
SPA-305 Professions and Practices in the Spanish-Speaking World 3 credits
SPA-306 Cultures and Polemics of the Spanish-Speaking World 3 credits
SPA-307 Literature of the Caribbean, North and Central America 3 credits
SPA-308 Peninsular and Latin American Literature 3 credits
The remaining credits must be from SPA-101REV, SPA-210, SPA-299, and/or SPA-310+.
Students who have previously taken Spanish must complete the Spanish 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.Prior to studying abroad, students should work with WLC faculty to determine appropriate transfer credit. Approved programs may transfer courses that appear on a transcript as if the student were in residence at the College. However, all students are required to complete at least one three-credit 300- or 400-level Spanish course from the College’s Spanish program in order to demonstrate competency in program learning outcomes.
Spanish majors may not minor in Spanish.
