Spanish, Bachelor’s/Master’s Combined Program

The bachelor’s/master’s degree program in Spanish is designed to provide a student the means to complete the requirements for both degrees in a period of five years. The key feature of the program is that a student can count up to 12 credit hours of graduate-level courses in order to fulfill requirements for the B.A. and use those same credits toward the M.A. in Spanish.

Admission to the Graduate School is contingent upon meeting eligibility requirements at the time of entering the graduate program.

A student who is ineligible to participate or continue in, or withdraws from the bachelor’s/master’s program cannot double count any courses for both bachelor’s and master’s degrees. For more details see the department chair or the graduate coordinator.
