Major/Minor information for bilingual students

This is general information about the Major/Minor. Before registering for any of these courses, you should consult the Undergraduate catalog for courses requiring a pre-requisite, and visit the Undergraduate Advisor (Professor Greg Moreland). You can also visit the office of RLL at 170 DAUER HALL, and request fliers with additional information.

MAJOR: a minimum of 33 semester hours of coursework as follows:
1. SPN2340 (for bilinguals) 3 credits
2. SPN3350 (for bilinguals) 3 credits
3. An additional 27 credits of SPN (language) and SPW (literature) courses at the 3000-4000 levels, of which a minimum of 12 must be at the 4000-level.
Please note that bilingual students cannot take SPN 3300, SPN 3301, SPN 3410, SPN 3411, and SPN 4420.

MINOR: total hours required 18. At least one (1) course must be at the 4000-level.

Please, understand that this information is accurate but minimal and might change. Consult the Undergraduate Catalog and talk to the Undergraduate Advisor before registering.

FINAL NOTE: For the Spanish language courses, there are 2 tracks (sequences). One for bilingual students, and one for non-bilinguals. Bilingual students are more proficient in listening, understanding and conversing than are non-bilinguals because of their greater exposure to the spoken language. However, bilinguals often lack knowledge of the correct grammar (spelling, word formation, etc). Bilinguals profit from courses geared to teach them what they do not know (not what non-bilinguals don't know), and a different approach to learning and/or improving their knowledge of the language.
