Credit Transfer
1. Language Requirement Credit Transfer
Contact: Language Program Coordinator, Esther Castro-Cuenca
To transfer courses taken at institutions other than Mount Holyoke as equivalent to specific language courses offered by our department. Students should submit all pertinent materials (for example, detailed syllabi, tests, and homework assignments) for permission before taking the course and for approval after completing it.
Students who have fulfilled the language requirement prior to matriculating at Mount Holyoke, as determined by the Registrar, but still want to take Spanish courses at MHC, should take the online placement test just like any other student and will be placed in a Spanish course accordingly.
2. Credit Transfer Towards Spanish Major or Minor
Contact: Nieves Romero-Diaz
To receive credit towards your major or minor for courses taken at institutions other than Mt. Holyoke.
3. Study Abroad Credit Transfer
Please also see link to Study Abroad.
- Students should contact the Study Abroad Office (CGI) first, and determine what study abroad program(s) may be best suited to their academic goals and financial needs.
- 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.
- Latin America Study Abroad Advisor - Christian Gundermann
- Spain Study Abroad Advisor - Justin Crumbaugh - 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.
- The Department of Spanish will accept no more than 8 credits taken abroad at the 300 level.
- 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.
