Spanish Major
Courses in Spanish enable the student to learn the Spanish language and become familiar with Hispanic cultures. Majors in Spanish also study the outstanding figures of Spanish and Spanish-American literature and civilization, and are prepared for graduate school, teaching, government service and careers in the private sector.
Study Abroad and Away: Study abroad is strongly encouraged for all students for minors and majors. JU has summer programs in Spain and Mexico where all levels of Spanish may be studied.
Course Sequence
It is strongly suggested that language courses be taken in consecutive semesters. If a student receives an 鈥淔鈥� in a course, the student must repeat the course before taking the next course in the sequence.
