ACADEMIC PROGRAM


This program caters to the needs of those with little or no background in Spanish by offering classes taught in English both on Spanish culture as well as in business and science. Students with more advanced study in Spanish can also choose from a variety of classes in Spanish culture and civilization. Each class is equivalent to three semester credits.

A placement exam determines the language level of each student. Spanish language classes have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 students per class. All other classes have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 25 students per class. Classes are held Monday through Thursday.

The list of courses presented is for both the fall and spring semesters. Course offerings are subject to sufficient enrollment. Students enroll in four to five classes, or 12-15 semester credits per semester, and may choose to study for one semester or for the full year.

Although this is not a Spanish immersion program, students are HIGHLY encouraged to take at least one Spanish language course. Advanced level students may take a variety of upper level content courses in Spanish and/or English. Superior level students may take up to 2 regular classes with Spanish students.
