Bachelors (BA) in Spanish

The Spanish major offers a 39-semester-hour course of study that is designed to move students toward advanced proficiency in the four skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) defined by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The program emphasizes the unique relationship between culture and language. Central to all course work is an examination of issues of faith and culture. In keeping with the mission of George Fox University, service components are required in some courses.

Advanced course work includes historically important works of literature and a survey of Iberian and Latin American history and culture. One semester studying abroad in a Spanish-speaking country is required to complete the Spanish major. Students are required to obtain a minimum grade of C- in all courses taken for the major.
