All students who have taken two or more years of Spanish are strongly encouraged to take the Spanish placement test. The purpose of the Spanish placement test is to determine the appropriate level course for continued language study at the University of Findlay.
Coursework in Spanish may satisfy University of Findlay CORE requirements, and students are encouraged to fulfill the CORE Plus requirements through study abroad and additional language study. Students who have taken four or more years of Spanish in high school are encouraged to add a Spanish major or minor to their primary major.
A minor in Spanish is 18 hours and a major is 33 hours beyond Spanish I (120) and Spanish II (121). By demonstrating a sufficient level of proficiency, courses can be waived towards the major or minor as no credit is given. PLEASE NOTE: half of your credits towards a major or minor must be completed through the University of Findlay.
You are requested to do Step 1 from home prior to your registration date.
