We are happy to meet with you even if you are interested but not certain听whether you want to major in Spanish. We can help you decide if this major is the right choice for you. As a first year student, you will be told to meet with the听Center for Student Success. This can be听a very helpful resource as well.

There is a good chance your circumstances may not fit the plan exactly, and that is completely fine. Whether this discrepancy be the result of coming into college with existing听credits, testing into a higher-level course, or taking time off, a faculty adviser from the Spanish program will be happy to figure out a unique plan听that will work for you!

For more detailed information about scheduling and cost (including online practice tests for the STAMP), please visit the听Testing听Webpage.

All majors in HGS are required to gain proficiency in a language other than English. As a Spanish major, you will not need to take extra coursework to fulfill this requirement. For more information about this, please see the HGS Language Requirement.
