*Spanish majors are required to complete at least one academic semester in a country where Spanish is spoken. A minimum cumulative St. Norbert College G.P.A of 2.5 is required for study abroad although individual programs may have a higher G.P.A requirement.

Spanish minor (4 courses above 300):
Courses must include SPAN 304, SPAN 305, one civilization course (SPAN 375 or 385), and one elective. With permission, SPAN 400 may count as the elective.

Spanish Teaching minor (4 courses above 300):
A teaching minor is available only to students in education. Required courses: SPAN 304, 305, 375 and 385. In addition, all students seeking certification to teach a foreign language must complete an approved language immersion experience of at least 6 weeks in a Spanish-speaking country. Members of the Spanish faculty have information regarding a variety of suitable programs.

Spanish Language Certificate: A Spanish Language Certificate is available that recognizes successful demonstration of intermediate-level proficiency in the language for students that choose not to pursue a language major or minor. The Certificate recognizes competency equivalent to the successful completion of the 101-204 sequence with an overall grade point average of 3.00 (B) in the language courses counting toward the certificate. The course that demonstrates successful completion of the Certificate must be taken at St. Norbert through the Modern Foreign Languages curriculum and the student must earn a 3.00 (B) or higher in this course. A student who places beyond the 204 level (e.g. 304 or 305) still must complete one class on campus and receive a grade of 3.0 (B) or higher in that class. A student who might be interested in a Certificate could take four classes (101,102, 203, 204) at St. Norbert College. However, students who might be interested in a Certificate could place into 203 or 204 and would only have to take one or, at most two classes. (Effective for students entering the College in Fall 2006 or later.)
