  • Non-Heritage Language Track Core Courses (20 credits): SPAN 310, 311, 312, and 313

    • SPAN 310 and 311 may be taken at the same time; you do not need to register for SPAN 310 first.

    • SPAN 312 and 313 may be taken at the same time; you do not need to register for SPAN 312 first.
    • While you must complete the SPAN 310 - 313 core courses, once you have taken either SPAN 312 or 313, you may begin to take 400-level SPAN courses. 
       
  • Heritage Language Track Core Courses (20 credits): SPAN 314, 315, 316 and either SPAN 312 or SPAN 313

Upper-division courses (30 credits)

  • While you must complete all four Core Courses, once you have completed either SPAN 312 or SPAN 313, you may begin to move to upper-division courses to complete your major.  For this, you need:
     
    • 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.
