Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Advanced Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultural Studies
The Department of Romance Languages offers a 15-hour Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Advanced Spanish Language and Hispanic Cultural Studies. The certificate is designed for professionals who may have a bachelor's degree in a field other than Spanish but who are able to demonstrate strong intermediate-level language skills in Spanish (equivalent to having completed a minimum of 21 undergraduate semester hours above the 204 level). Specific goals of the certificate program are: 1) to increase students' language skills in Spanish to a high level; 2) to prepare qualified candidates for cross-cultural professions; and 3) to prepare community college, four-year college or university instructors who, according to accreditation guidelines, must have at least 18 hours of graduate credit in order to teach Spanish (and would thus need to take one additional course beyond the certificate).
