- At least six upper-division SPAN courses, with a minimum of 25 credits at the 400-level
NOTE: "Upper-division courses" means courses at the 300- and 400-level with the exception of the Core Courses listed above (SPAN 310, 311, 312, 313, 314, 315, and 316).
NOTE: Other than SPAN 400 / SPLING 400 through SPAN 406 / SPLING 406, only one SPAN course with instructional materials primarily in English may typically be applied to the major. See an advisor to discuss exceptions.
