OJO 1:  Students may meet 4 hours of the general education requirement in literature by taking Survey of Spanish Literature (336) or Survey of Spanish American Literature (337).

OJO 2:  Students may work with their advisors to complete alternative study abroad programs other than Wheaton In Spain or Wheaton In Argentina. The alternative program must be accredited by a U.S. four-year college or university, or by the International Accreditation Association of Colleges and Universities. Six (6) credits minimum; 8-16 recommended.

OJO 3: At least 16 hours must be taken in residence; that is, through Wheaton College. No more than 16 hours of upper-division transfer credit in Spanish may be applied to the major. Transfer credits include AP credits and coursework completed abroad through a non-Wheaton College or a non-CCCU program.

SPANISH MINOR:  Students take 20 hours of coursework at the upper-divisional (300-400) level.  Conversation (331) and Advanced Grammar and Composition (332) are required.  A term of study abroad is strongly recommended.  The electives for the minor are chosen in consultation with the minor advisor on an individual basis.
