Course Description:

'' The Spanish program provides students with communication skills in both written and spoken Spanish and gives them an understanding of and appreciation for the peoples, literatures, and cultures of Spain and Latin America. Stronger ties with the Spanish-speaking world and the growing number of Spanish-speakers in the United States have significantly increased the need for teachers and speakers of Spanish.

Although some students choose to study Spanish primarily for personal growth and intellectual enrichment, graduates in Spanish have found satisfying careers in teaching, international business, translating and interpreting, personnel work, public relations, business management, social work, government service, and other fields. The Spanish major is also excellent preparation for graduate study. Proficiency in a foreign language and understanding of other cultures are essential for peace and prosperity in an interdependent world.

Learning a new language is a life-long endeavor, only part of which can be accomplished in the classroom. All students of Spanish are strongly encouraged to pursue opportunities faculty provide for travel and study in Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, and South America. Additionally, ways exist to interact with the Hispanic community of Green Bay. A language laboratory with interactive audio equipment, computers, and international television reception helps language learning and cultural awareness. Spanish conversation groups meet periodically to offer the opportunity to practice the language. Students are encourage to become members of the student-led Spanish Club.

Students majoring in Spanish will also choose an interdisciplinary minor. Students interested in the humanities usually choose the interdisciplinary program in humanistic studies; students interested in fine arts or the performing arts usually choose communication and the arts. Depending on their preferences and goals, students may find other interdisciplinary programs appropriate, such as human development or social change and development. Students desiring teacher preparation in Spanish must combine their studies in Spanish with the secondary education minor.

Students who begin Spanish study at UW-Green Bay should enroll in Introduction to Spanish 101. Students with previous Spanish should select a course appropriate to their level by counting a year of high school work as equivalent to a semester of college work, or consult the Spanish adviser. If more than two semesters have elapsed between your high school Spanish classes and when you will be enrolling in college Spanish courses, you are required to take the UW placement test for appropriate placement.
