The Courses
(All courses carry 3 credits unless otherwise noted.)
Note on all courses: Students not adequately prepared for the course in which they are registered may change to a lower level of Spanish through the Add/Drop deadline, on a space-available basis. The program reserves the right to remove from any class students who have not satisfied its pre-requisite(s). The program also reserves the right to remove from any class students who should be placed at a higher level.
Notes on Elementary and Intermediate Spanish sequences:
- There are two sequences that cover the Elementary and Intermediate levels. Students interested in Spanish for General Purposes may complete SPANISH 110, 120, 230 and 240. Students who readily learn foreign languages may elect the intensive two-semester sequence SPANISH 126 and 246.
- All courses in Elementary and Intermediate Spanish progressively develop students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. Grammar and vocabulary are introduced to support effective acquisition of communication skills. Aspects of culture of the Spanish-speaking world form the background to topics generated for practice of communication skills.
- The foreign language requirement of the College of Humanities and Fine Arts is fulfilled by completion of one of the following: SPANISH 240, or 246.
- Students unclear of their current proficiency should see Professor Carole Cloutier (Herter 408) for information about proper placement.
