Spanish Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Spanish minor requirements are to include a minimum of 16 credits of course work completed at the 300-level or above. At least two of the courses must be completed on the Elizabethtown College campus. The combination of SP 331 and SP 332 will count as one 300-level elective. The remaining courses may be completed on campus or in an approved study-abroad program. In accordance with academic policy, the program will accept a 3-credit transfer course as satisfying our 4 credit requirement. After completing the required course work, students must take an oral interview and receive a minimum rating of Intermediate High.

Language Placement Policy

Language majors are required to participate in a BCA Study Abroad or another School-approved program for one academic year or equivalent of two separate semesters. Non-majors who have completed 212 or above also are encouraged to participate in the BCA or approved study-abroad programs.

All students with more than two full years of language preparation must take courses at the 112-level or above. The appropriate language level is determined by an online placement test. In the case of Japanese placement, students must contact the Japanese faculty.

If a student places into a modern language course at the 211-level or higher and earns a B- or better, then he or she will also receive credit for the previous course in the sequence. The course must be taken before the end of the student’s second year. This policy is not applicable to native speakers who were formally educated in the language through the high school level.

Native and heritage speakers must contact their advisor if they plan to take courses in their native or heritage language.
