MAJOR: Majors in Spanish are required to take ten courses above the intermediate level (1122). Once a sequence of language courses has begun, a student may not revert to a lower level course. This does not apply to upper level courses (beyond 1132). SPA 1138 or SPA 2400, SPA 2211 or SPA 2212 and SPA 3950 are required of all majors.

MINOR: For a minor in Spanish four courses above the intermediate level in the language, including SPA 1131 and 1132 are required.

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures also offers literature courses in English translation. Such courses may be used to fulfill a Humanities elective; however, they may not be used toward credit requirements for a language major or minor. An upper level literature course in any language taught in the Department satisfies the advanced literature core requirement. At the same time, it may also count for the minor in a language. However, it may not count for both the advanced literature requirement and the major in Hispanic Studies, except for double majors.

Students may obtain up to six credits through the Villanova summer programs in Valparaíso (Chile) and Cádiz (Spain).
