One course in Hispanic studies:

SPAN

Any 300/400-level SPAN course

Designed to meet the specific needs of majors interested in studying abroad or teaching, the Hispanic studies requirement may be fulfilled by choosing from FLL 380 or FLL 381 (the teaching internship in Spanish), or by taking any 300- or 400-level course in Spanish. By senior year, all candidates for the major are required to take SPAN 425 and SPAN 435.

In lieu of SPAN 435 and a course in Hispanic studies (described above), students in their junior year may propose a research topic for an honors thesis (SPAN 495, SPAN 496) to be completed during their senior year.
