SPAN 315 and SPAN 325 may be completed at SU, or as approved by department through the study abroad approval process.
The 300-level electives are taken in your Study Abroad Program.
Several Spanish courses have been identified as satisfying the senior synthesis and core interdisciplinary requirements. Those courses may be used to fill major requirements or major electives while also fulfilling university core requirements. The credit for each course completed is included in totals only once.
