Spanish courses at the upper level are divided between studies of linguistics and the literature and cultures of Spain and those of Latin America. It is recommended that students seek a balance between these, striving for a broad knowledge of intellectual currents on both sides of the Atlantic. Students planning to proceed to graduate programs in Spanish should spend a year abroad if possible, take both culture sequences and as many literature courses as time allows, repeating courses where professor and subject matter change.

1. One from 203, 210, 230 or 240
2. Spanish 303
3. Spanish 308 or 310
4. Spanish 314 and 316
5. Two courses at 400 level (one must be a literature course)
6. Senior Seminar
7. A minimum of one semester abroad in a program chosen in consultation with the director of International Office and approved by the student's advisor and the Chair of the Department of Hispanic Studies.
