Competence
in Spanish to be achieved no later than the junior year,
demonstrated by the completion of at least one
course in Spanish at the 200 level or above.
Spanish/General
Programs 240, Latin American
and Iberian Cultures.
Four
other related courses, two of which must be taken outside the
major department; one of these four courses should be at the
300 level. These courses are to be chosen from the
offerings listed by the concentration coordinator. Students should
consult with their advisors as to which courses are most
appropriate for their major and special interests: some apply more
to Latin America, others to Spain. Other courses may be
offered in fulfillment of this requirement if their pertinence to
the student's program can be demonstrated.
A
paper (at least 20 pages) on Spain or Latin America, to be
completed no later than the first semester of the senior year, as
part of the work for a course in the student's major or the
concentration. Whenever possible, the paper should be written
while in residence at the College. A proposal for the paper topic,
accompanied by a bibliography, must be submitted in advance for
approval by the concentration coordinator. While the topic is open
and should reflect the student's interests in a particular
discipline, the paper should demonstrate the student's ability to
discuss intelligently the history, literature, social or political
thought of Latin America or Spain as it applies to their
individual research project.
