 Return to: Degrees & Programs of Study
A major in French, German, or Spanish consists of ten course units. One semester abroad is required of all Modern Languages & Literatures majors, in which a minimum of three courses must be taken in the language of study. After completing two courses at the 200 level, students may no longer take 100-level courses. Only one internship in a modern language may be taken for credit towards a major in that language. Students may count either SPAN 110 or SPAN 111 , but not both, towards a major in Spanish.
During their course of study at Moravian, all students majoring in Spanish will be required to study abroad for a minimum of one semester in a country where Spanish is the principal language. Upon declaring a major in Spanish, students (in consultation with their advisors) must work out a schedule which will make study abroad possible.
The department recognizes that there will be cases that call for a special exception to the study abroad policy. These cases will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. Students who wish to apply for an exception to the study abroad policy must contact the Chair of the Modern Languages and Literatures Department. Unless the student has already spent a minimum of one year, as an adult, in a country where the foreign language is spoken, the student will not, generally speaking, be waived of the entire study abroad requirement. Courses taken during study abroad must be approved by the department prior to the student’s registration for the program.
