Admission Requirements

Declare your program of study (see Enrollment Services and Information ). Teaching majors must meet the Teacher Education admission and licensure requirements (see Teacher Education Department ).

General Education

Refer to Degree and General Education Requirements  for Bachelor of Arts requirements. FL 2020  will fulfill the 3 credit hours for the Humanities General Education requirement. A student who completes an upper-division Spanish course with a “C” or better will also meet this requirement. Credit for Humanities General Education (HU2020) cannot be obtained through examination. The prerequisite courses listed under the major requirements will also fulfill the BA Language requirement.

Assessment

During their senior year, all Spanish Teaching majors will complete FL 4990  in order to help the department assess how well it has met its goals. Students are encouraged to keep copies of their best work from each course taken in the major. These samples will be used in FL 4990 .
