Spanish, B.A. Suggested 4-Year Plan

How to Use your 4-year Plan

• This is a suggested 4-year plan for your major and not meant to replace regular academic advising.
• The plan is flexible and can be changed to accommodate studying abroad, a second major/minor(s) or AP/IB credits.
• You should work with an academic advisor to develop a plan that meets your interests and goals.
• You must earn a minimum of 120 credits to graduate and 33 major-specific credits to earn a B.A. in Spanish.
• Transfer students and those looking to add B.A. in Spanish as a second major should contact the program advisor for degree planning.
• If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Polly Hodge at phodge@chapman.edu.

Suggested 4-year Plan

• We encourage you to select your General Education (GE) and minor/second major/Themed Inquiry/Honors program around the plan below. Once you fill your GE classes around your major classes, you will have a better idea of space remaining each semester when choosing your Exploration Focus.
• To be enrolled full time, you must take at least 12 credits a semester.
• In order to graduate within 4 years, we recommend you take 30 credits a year.
• The BA in Spanish is 11 classes (33 credits). Of the 11 classes, 10 must be taken at the 300 or 400 level (upper-division) and SPAN 202 counts as the only 200 level course acceptable. Six advanced classes (4 Literature: 375, 376, 377, 378 and 2 Linguistics, 396, 440) are required for the major as well as the capstone SPAN 498 (Junior/Senior Seminar). Students then choose 4 classes from a variety of elective courses depending on their interest areas.
