Spanish

Undergraduate Spanish Program

Introductory Courses and Placement

Students who have already studied Spanish for two or more years in high school or who speak Spanish in the home and wish to continue the language are assigned to courses according to their achievement on a  placement test. Native speakers of Spanish may not take elementary, intermediate, or conversation courses. Unless given departmental permission to begin course work at 01:940:215 or above, they should take the sequence of courses designated for native speakers. Students that have taken two or more years of high school Spanish are not eligible to take Elementary Spanish. Laboratory programs are an integral part of most language courses. Language laboratories are located on the College Avenue, Douglass, and Livingston campuses.

Spanish Language House

Rutgers University offers the opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the Spanish language and culture:

Casa Hispánica - Douglass Campus

The Casa Hispánica is located on Douglass Campus.  A native speaker teaches a class on Monday evenings and organizes other cultural and academic activities.  Spanish is spoken throughout the house, which enables students to improve their speaking ability significantly.  This living community is open to female students who have completed Intermediate Spanish (940:131) or above.  Residents receive 1.5 credits per semester for their participation in the Casa Hispánica and the Monday evening class.  (090:237, 090:238).
