Spanish Program Requirements
In support of the SPU mission to cultivate graduates of competence and character, the European studies: Spanish major and minor programs seek to further the linguistic and cultural competence of our students by affording them stimulating and demanding opportunities in classroom settings and overseas.

The European studies option focuses on Spain as a member of the European community, its history, culture, and literature. Among many goals of this option is that of enabling students to discern issues surrounding Europe’s role in the modern world and hence become responsible citizens of our country where European/U.S. relations are concerned.

Requirements for the Major
A European studies: Spanish major requires 40 credits, of which 25 must be upper division, in addition to the 19 base-course credits and the other major requirements listed above. A minimum of 18 upper-division credits must be in courses taught in Spanish.

Courses in the history of the Hispanic world, HIS 3750 Latin America (5), and HIS 3331 History of Spain and Portugal (5) are required and can be included in the total credits. Students must complete all non-credited and language proficiency requirements found on the Languages department page.
