Spanish Undergraduate Course Synopses

Course synopses provides a brief description of a course. Each outline will indicate the overall goal of the course, briefly characterize the main topics covered, emphasize the importance of the course, identify any special instructional methods to be used and the pre-requisites needed to take the course.

NOTE: Synopses are intended to give students a general overview of the courses.  Instructors will provide students with additional course-specific information, including attendance/makeup policies, assignment/test scheduling and instructor contact information in the syllabus to be distributed the first day of classes. Textbooks for courses are subject to change. Please speak with or email your instructor for textbook information before purchasing.

Note on "Semester(s) Offered"

Please note that the "Semester(s) Offered" entry does not guarantee that the course will always be offered in that semester. Please consult the online Schedule of Courses to verify whether a course will be offered in an upcoming semester.
