Courses

2018-2019

Native speakers and students with a knowledge of Spanish not acquired in an academic institution, should contact the Undergraduate Advisor to determine their level of language ability.
Language courses follow a sequence. Moving backwards in language courses is not permitted.
The Department of Spanish and Latin American Studies reserves the right to refuse admission to, and/or credit for, any of its language courses to a student who has, in the view of the Department, a level of competence unsuited to that course.
