Students majoring in Spanish must choose one of two options:
Literary and Cultural Studies, or Spanish Linguistics. Whenever courses
are taught in a language other than Spanish, they will count for the
Spanish major if all written work is done in Spanish. Students are
responsible for consulting the catalog course listing for prerequisites
and special conditions prior to registration. All major programs must
be reviewed and approved by a departmental adviser.

This option consists of a minimum of 36 credits given in the Spanish
language at the 200-400 level completed with a grade of C or
better in each course. The following credits are required unless
