Students are required to pass SPA-349 with a minimum grade of "C" before advancing to other 300 or 400 level upper-division classes.
The foreign coordinator or the division chair may, however, grant some students permission to take another upper-division class at the same time that they are taking SPA-349.
Students may not elect to take SPA-117, SPA-118, SPA-237, or SPA-238 after successfully completing SPA-347, SPA-349, or any other upper-level courses, but may pursue CLEP credit prior to completing SPA-349.
CLEP Policy
Students may CLEP SPA-117, SPA-118, or SPA-237 for credit. However, students must CLEP these courses prior to completing SPA-349 or with approval of the foreign language coordinator to receive credit for their major or minor.
AP Credits Policy
Incoming freshmen who, prior to their enrollment at Indiana Wesleyan University, pass the AP Spanish Language Exam with a minimum score of 4 will receive credit for SPA-237 and SPA-238. Students who pass the AP Spanish Language Exam with a minimum score of 3 will be awarded credit for SPA-117 and SPA-118. AP credit for these courses will not meet intercultural competency.
INT-322 Prerequisite
INT-322 course is an option for Intercultural Studies majors only, because they will have completed all other prerequisites needed in order to take INT-322. In order for students to enroll in INT-322, they must have also completed SPA-347. Students will be placed in a Spanish speaking country for at least 3 weeks. Placement will be approved by the Foreign Language Coordinator and cooperating faculty member from Intercultural Studies.
Foreign Study Experience Policy
If a student decides not to pursue CLEP credit prior to completing SPA-349, he or she must study abroad in Seville, Spain, for one semester in order to earn the remaining credits and graduate in 4 years.
All Spanish Majors and Minors are strongly encouraged to study abroad through IWU-sponsored or IWU-approved programs during their junior year.
Students should consult with the Foreign Language Coordinator, the Global Engagement Office, as well as their faculty advisor before taking courses abroad to ensure that they are appropriate.
