In addition, the major includes one 400-level Senior Essay course, Individual Study or Honors Thesis taken at Connecticut College during the Senior year. All majors take at least one course approved by their Advisor in the following areas: linguistics/professional development, cultural studies, and literature. SPA 298 “Introduction to Literary and Cultural Analysis” is highly recommended before taking any 300-level course. One FYS or cross-listed course in English with a FLAC section in Spanish may count toward the major. Study Away in a Spanish-speaking country for at least one semester is highly recommended. Students are expected to consult with their Advisor to select courses and make plans to study abroad. Two courses taken abroad may count toward the major after pre-approval and final approval once the grades have been successfully transferred to Connecticut College. Honors Study in the Hispanic Studies department (completed in Spanish or English on relevant topics) counts as two courses toward the major. All courses taken in Spanish, regardless of level, count toward Connecticut College’s World Languages and Cultures requirement.
