Completion of Spanish 113 or equivalent. Acceptance into the program is based upon demonstrated success with Spanish language courses and sincere interest in expanding your horizons through exposure to a foreign culture. Meetings with the Director are required and take place in the fall quarter. You are expected to attend Spanish Conversation hours and do extra reading prior to admittance to the program. There is considerable competition for this program.
Early planning is advised.
The Mayab program offers full academic credit with a 16-hour credit hours minimum load. The courses cover slightly more than similar courses on the main campus and most students from past programs have found the work load both harder and more rewarding than courses on the OU campus. Several of these courses can be credited toward the Latin American Studies Certificate and the Spanish Major or Minor. Courses are taught by OU Professors Dr. David Burton and Dr. Daniel Torres. Mexican faculty is hired to supplement teaching depending on the program needs.
