Related Courses:
12 additional “related” credits are required in 2000, 3000 and 4000-level from programs other than Spanish.
All students in the ESP Engineering program will get the 12 related credits they need during their year in Valencia.
Other related courses include:
• Courses in any modern or classical language.
• Any English, Linguistics, or Philosophy course.
• Any Communication Sciences course that is directly related to second language acquisition or Latino community.
• Any History, Political Science, Art History, Anthropology, Sociology, Economics, or Geography course that deals entirely with Latin America, Spain or US Latinos.
• Any course that does not meet these specific requirements should be approved by the advisor.
Additional Rules:
A minimum of 12 of the major credits must consist of Spanish courses taken in residence. Up to 12 credits may be met by Span 3293. Only 6 may be transfer credits.
