Spanish majors seeking to pursue a 5th-year master’s in Education must demonstrate oral and written proficiency in Spanish by their undergraduate senior year. The department requires that these students take the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) Oral Proficiency Interview and the Writing Proficiency Test at the end of their junior year. If the student does not achieve a level of intermediate high in both tests, as required by the State of Connecticut, he/she must meet with an advisor and to discuss the possibility of studying abroad. Students in this situation may retake the exam during their senior year. Both exams can be taken at Sacred Heart University with one of the Spanish professors acting as proctor.
