¹

Prerequisites Course, taken as needed -  those who have completed two, three, or four years of high school Spanish or any community college Spanish will be placed in the appropriate semester of college Spanish in consultation with a departmental advisor. Students may get credit for some of these courses through the Advanced Placement Examination in either Language or Literature, by challenging them (but never in descending order), and/or by transferring equivalent courses from other institutions.

²

The Modern Languages Department strongly recommends those students who need additional fluency in Spanish to travel to a Spanish-speaking country (under the guidance of an advisor) or to take SPA 230 Spanish Conversation before they take this course.

 

³

All Spanish Literature minors must take this course at CSUDH.

Students choosing this minor may also complete the BA in Spanish in the Literature and Linguistics Option or the Spanish for the Professions Option.  If they choose to do so, they may count SPA350 and SPA351 towards both this minor and the BA.
