Un mensaje para ti del Departamento de Idiomas Modernos

¡Hola Maggie Gagnon!

ABRIR

Due to your achievement in Spanish class, you are someone with strong potential to successfully complete the Modern Languages major or minor.

Based on your degree audit, we see you are pursuing a dual degree in chemistry and Modern Languages

We encourage you to contact a Spanish faculty member about Spanish courses next semester and in future semesters.

Last names A-P

Your advisor is:

Dr. Julie Stephens

We do advising by last name. If you are interested, please email the faculty member who advises students with your last name.

A major or minor in Modern Languages equips you with key skills and knowledge for a globalized, dynamic world.

It can combine well with a career in health care!

While learning another language is a challenge and requires time and dedication, it is also very rewarding and has the potential to enrich and expand your personal and academic objectives.

A Modern Language major consists of 30 hours at the elementary II level (Span 1602) or above.

We see you are already a major?

We can show you how to complete the major in ML.

You are well on your way to completing two degrees

We will show you how to complete an ML minor and also how to pursue a double major/dual degree (BA + BS).

The first class to count in the major / minor is Span 1602 (Elementary Spanish II).

Only 7 more classes for the major.

So, you are well on your way!

What do you have credit for already?

Since you are a SOPHOMORE, your current graduation date would likely be SPRING 2028. We'll show you a sample major plan.

Here's a sample schedule

Here is a potential plan for you to complete a major in Modern Languages.

MAJOR – 30 credits – 10 classes

After taking Span 2603, you need 21 more credits (7 classes) for the major.

See schedule

The schedule is just a suggestion.

How could the Spain study tour fit into the plan?

By spring 2027, you could have completed 6, 7 or 8 courses toward the major or minor.

That would leave you 2-3 semesters to complete the remaining courses for the major, assuming a graduation date of either spring 2028.

Your specific situation – summed up

MAGGIE

These are just suggestions. Other plans could also work!

How to complete the major

Take one Spanish class each semester through fall 2026. Participate in the Spain study tour in summer 2026. Then take two Spanish courses in spring 27 until the spring of 2028. If you don't participate in the Spain study tour, take two courses in the fall of 27 or the spring of 28.

The Spain study tour is optional. If you do not participate, you can finish by adding one course to your major / minor plan.

Other considerations to note

A semester abroad would give you 12 credits in a single semester, significantly accelerating your progress toward graduation.

Study abroad also provides invaluable experiences that add to your personal and academic successes.

Congratulations Maggie Gagnon and best wishes for your continued academic success!

Best regards,

The Modern Languages Faculty

After 2602 you can take 2603 (Conversation 1--a fall course only) and/or 3000-level courses. You can take 4000-level courses after you complete 3623.

Fall 2026

In the fall of 2026, take 2603 and/or 3623. Or, you could also take a different 3000-level class. After intermediate II, you can take more than one course.

Spring 2027

You could take two classes or one in the spring of 2027. After 2602, you can take any 2000 or 3000-level course. These are just suggestions

There is some flexibility in which semesters you take one or more classes per semester. See your advisor!

If you don't participate in the Spain study tour you would need to add a Spanish course to the schedule or finish in spring of 2028.

A 3000-level course that fits your schedule.

After 2602, you can take more than one Spanish course in a semester.

Your degree audit shows you have credit for Span 1602, 2601 and are enrolled in 2603.

So, three courses - 9 credits
