Your new major will appear on your transcript in the next completed academic quarter. To declare Spanish Linguistics as the second of a double major within the college of letters and science, bring a DPR or transcript and a signed change of major form from the counselor in your primary major. In accordance with letters and science policy, the department will recommend approval of the double major if the student has completed the preparatory courses in both majors and is in good academic standing. The form is then sent to the college of letters and science for final approval. If Spanish Linguistics is your primary major, reverse the process.
Eligibility is verified by the departmental counselor.
Two honors projects and an honors thesis are required to graduate with departmental honors, students must first complete an honors project in each of two of their upper division Spanish elective courses. On the basis of the coursework and special interests, students then consult a faculty member in that field and formulate a research project which they pursue under the faculty member's guidance through Spanish 170. Approval of the honors thesis is the final requirement for departmental honors. There are several upper-division courses that are restricted to students in the Spanish, Spanish and Linguistics, Spanish and Portuguese, Portuguese, and other related majors. The restriction is not meant to keep others out, but rather, to give preference to students in the major for whom these courses are required.
