Writing Requirements in Spanish
Spanish majors must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours of general education WAC courses not part of students’ degree plans. Those credits may consist of DSU’s College Composition I and II, which are writing intensive, or transfer courses or credit considered equivalent according to SBHE placement and transfer policies. Spanish majors must complete an additional 12 hours of WAC/WID courses from the list below, all of which are writing intensive:
SPAN 321 Advanced Spanish (3)
SPAN 350 Hispanic Civilization and Culture (2)
SPAN 425 Hispanic Literature (3)
SPAN 440 Senior Conversation and Composition (3)
SPAN 499 Special Topics (1-6)
SPAN 480 Senior Project (1)
Writing intensive credit may also be available through alternative means, such as completing other upper-level courses, including internships, which require extensive guided instruction and recursive practice in writing. Such alternative credit requires the student to submit a writing portfolio documenting the intensive writing accompanied by a program substitution form filed by the department Chair.
