*Students majoring in Spanish Translation are expected to have some proficiency in Spanish through high school study. Students with previous Spanish study should take the Spanish Placement Test and enroll in the correct course based on their score. Students who have completed three or four years of high school Spanish should see a Spanish major advisor for placement. Students lacking in sufficient major-level proficiency to take the first major courses, SPAN 38211 and SPAN 38212, can reach it by taking courses in the prerequisite sequence (SPAN 13201, 13202, 23201, 23202) based on their placement score and high school training. Students with sufficient Spanish to place into higher semesters are not allowed in Elementary Spanish I.

**A minimum C grade must be earned in either SPAN 48230 or TRST 38303 to fulfill writing-intensive requirement.

***The Subject Area Specialty is a departmentally approved coherent sequence of courses in one or more other disciplines

In order to be approved, the Subject Area Specialty must include courses in an area or areas that are currently marketable, such as business, legal studies, international relations, political science, computer science, chemistry, physics or other “hard” sciences. The Subject Area Specialty may include up to 17 credit hours of a different language in the sequence through composition/conversation. It may also optionally include MCLS 28404 The Latin American Experience and MCLS 28405 The Spanish Experience. Total credits: 27. The recommended Kent Core courses (see Kent Core Summary) may be included within this areawith advisor approval.
