Spanish Language Immersion Requirement
All Spanish majors and minors must complete at least a six-week period of language immersion in residence in a country where the language is spoken. The academic year, semester and eight-week summer options meet the language immersion requirement for Spanish majors and minors. The four week summer option can fulfill four weeks of the requirement, but students would need to complete another approved language immersion experience to fulfill the complete requirement. The two-week summer option does not fulfill any of the requirement.
