Spanish
¡BIENVENIDOS!
Hispanics are now the largest minority in the United States. This makes the Spanish language a prerequisite to success, especially in those fields that deal directly with people, i.e., human services, educational fields, international business, law, medicine, diplomacy, interpreting and technical translation. With a background in Spanish, our graduates are especially prepared to meet the needs of the future.
The University of Findlay’s Spanish program offers a wide variety of Spanish courses: language instruction, conversation/composition, culture and daily living, literature and folklore and business. A major in Spanish consists of 33 hours beyond the elementary courses. A minor in Spanish consists of 18 hours beyond the elementary courses. For teaching licensure (multi-age license in education for Spanish) in the state of Ohio, 45 semester hours are required beyond the elementary courses.
All students who have taken two or more years of Spanish are strongly encouraged to take the Spanish placement exam. The results of this test help determine the appropriate level course for continued language study. In addition, a Spanish major or minor is within your reach. By demonstrating a sufficient level of proficiency, courses can be waived towards the major or minor.
Spanish majors are required to participate in an immersion program. We offer a traditional study abroad program with a home stay in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where students take Spanish courses at the Universidad Internacional. We also offer an innovative internship teaching English at Vallejo University in Trujillo, Peru. Locally, Spanish internships and service-learning opportunities are available to students with Hispanic service organizations.
