Courses taken in the Davidson College programs in Mexico and Cádiz, or the program with which the college is affiliated in Alcalá de Henares, Spain, may satisfy one or several of the departmental area requirements. The chair of the Spanish Department determines which areas may be satisfied in this manner. A research project with oral defense is required in the last semester of the senior year. Study in a Spanish-speaking country is strongly recommended but not required. Also recommended is at least a minimum knowledge of a second foreign language. Minor Requirements
Six courses conducted in Spanish above Spanish 201 or 203, at least three in residence at Davidson College. Two courses may be at the 200-level. At least four courses must be at the 300-level or above. The department may also require Spanish 303–Advanced Grammar and Composition as one of the four upper-level courses, depending on the student’s language proficiency. Honors Requirement
Twelve courses are required for departmental honors. In addition to the major requirements, two other courses (Spanish 498, 499) are devoted to research and writing of the honors thesis. An oral examination is administered at the completion of the thesis and covers the thesis, its period, and/or the genre of its subject. Study Abroad
With specific approval of the department chair, up to three transferred courses for one semester or five transferred courses for the academic year may be applied to the Spanish major or minor. No more than three such courses may apply toward the minor in Spanish, no more than five toward the major in Spanish. Service Learning
Several departmental courses offer the opportunity for service learning. Some may require this component. |
