The Spanish Major consists of 9 courses.  All students must take the Spanish language placement exam before registering for a Spanish course. Speakers with prior language proficiency should consult with the Spanish major advisor about the waiver of language courses.  Note, however, that a waived language course may not be used to substitute for one of the nine required courses of the major. All major requirements must be completed with a grade of C or better and may not be taken satisfactory/unsatisfactory.   Students may include a focus on Spanish for the professions in their Spanish major – see footnotes below.  One course taught in English may be counted towards the major requirements. Courses taught in English can be identified by the MLL-ENGL POS-Tag. Of the nine courses for the major, five must the taken on the Homewood JHU campus.  

The program strongly recommends that Spanish majors study abroad, either for a semester in the Hopkins in Madrid program or for a summer or winter intersession term in our programs in Salamanca (Spain) and Coronado (Costa Rica). The Hopkins in Madrid Program, which is for advanced language students, allows students to complete a significant number of major requirements while abroad. Hopkins is also affiliated with a number of other study abroad programs. Students wishing to understand how transfer courses taken elsewhere apply towards the major should contact Loreto Sánchez- Serrano.
