|
|
 Return to: ACADEMIC PROGRAMS A-Z
The purpose of the major program is to educate students to think and perceive rationally and critically. This education includes reading and thinking; learning about literary and cultural movements; and making connections between the primarily aesthetic literary artifacts of the culture and its political, social, and economic history.
Through the Emerson Foreign Language Laboratory, students use technology and media at all language levels to allow them to communicate effectively in the world. Likewise, they are encouraged to prepare themselves philosophically and practically to make linkages between the major and other academic disciplines.
The student majoring in Spanish learns about the world of ideas and letters, past and present. This education requires at least one semester of study abroad; one year is recommended. The cohesive, integrated program of foreign language, culture, history, interdisciplinary studies, and literature courses ensures maximum proficiency in the target language.
Students seeking initial certification at the early childhood and childhood levels may double major in Spanish and Inclusive Early Childhood/Childhood Education. Students in this double major are required to have a minimum overall GPA of 2.7 before moving into INCH coursework which typically begins fall semester of the junior year.
