Honors
Program Requirements
Note: Except in the case of students enrolled in the College Honors
Program, admission to the Spanish Honors Program is by faculty nomination.
Students interested in doing the major with honors (distinction) may
express their interest to any member of the Spanish faculty.
- The student must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.5 and a Spanish
GPA of 3.5
- The student must complete all requirements for the Spanish Major:
301, 302, 303 (or 314, 315, 316), 321, 322, 323, one additional
300-level literature course, five 400-level courses, and participation
in an approved study abroad program or two credits of Experiential
Learning (SPAN 392). For prerequisites and other restrictions,
please see the Major Requirements page.
- The student must take 10 of the 25 required 400-level credits as honor credits
in the last year; these will be done via Ad Hoc Contracts with
individual faculty in conjunction with regularly scheduled 400-level
courses. The acceptance form and ad hoc contracts must be filed
with the College Honors Program Office in Mary Gates Hall by the
end of the 3rd week of the quarter in which a student plans to
undertake honors coursework.
- The student must take 5 additional credits of
Spanish 490 (beyond those required for the major) in the form of a
senior Honors Essay. This essay will be done under the supervision
of any consenting faculty member scheduled to teach a 400-level class
in the quarter in which the student signs up for Spanish 490. This
essay will be a 12-20 page essay in standard MLA format, which will
grow out of the student's independent research on a topic in some
way related to the 400-level course being taught by his or her supervisor.
Exceptionally, a qualified honors student will be invited by a faculty
member to undertake the 490 project in conjunction with a regularly
scheduled 500-level seminar (rather than a 400-level course). All
400-level courses in Spanish are eligible for honors credit.
- Before
the end of the 5th week of each quarter (Autumn, Winter, Spring only)
the UGSC will review the record of the candidates nominated and make
recommendations to the Honors Associate who will consult as needed
with members of our faculty and, based on those findings invite qualified
students to undertake the Departmental Honors Program. Candidates
for the Honors Program should have completed approximately half the
300-level coursework. Invitations are to be extended at least one
quarter before the student has finished 300-level work in order to
allow adequate time to complete the paperwork and contact faculty
with whom the student hopes to do his/her 400-level honors courses
and essay.
