b. Spanish majors or minors must then contact our study abroad advisors before registering for courses abroad to determine what courses may receive credit towards the Spanish major or minor upon satisfactory completion.

c. The Department of Spanish will give a maximum of 8 credits total at the 200 or 300 levels towards its major or minor for students who spend one semester abroad and up to 20 credits will be given towards their major or minor for students who spend two semesters abroad.

d. The Department of Spanish will accept no more than 8 credits taken abroad at the 300 level.

e. Decisions will be based on academic criteria. It is required for the student to present the department with syllabi and all relevant materials. Courses on a variety of subjects (literature, history, art, film, but also political science, economics, sociology…) may count towards the major, but only after the study abroad advisor should approve of the course contents and objectives.
