Career Opportunities: |
Many students majoring in Spanish will become teachers or go on to graduate school, but proficiency in a foreign language also helps majors find employment in the public and private sectors.

Special Requirements: |
A minimum grade of "C" (2.0) is required in course work for this major.
No student may receive credit for any course which is a prerequisite to a course for which college credit has already been received. Exceptions may be made only by the head of the department.
