All Spanish majors who are requested to do so in writing must participate in an oral proficiency exercise. No minimum achievement on this exercise is required, but the student must participate when requested to do so.
Details on the oral proficiency exercise can be found on the supplementary information sheet which each student signs upon declaring the major.
All students must fulfill the L&S requirement of at least 15 credits of upper-level work in the major completed in residence. All Spanish courses numbered 300 or above count toward this requirement.
Concurrent enrollment is permitted. All three prerequisites must be completed before studying more advanced levels of literature or civilization and culture.

Students wishing to enroll in Honors in the Major in Spanish must consult with the honors advisor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese to declare an Honors Major. Honors candidates in Spanish are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 3.5 for all Spanish courses at or above the 300 level and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.3 in all courses taken at UW-Madison at the time of graduation. Honors candidates in Spanish are required to take the prerequisite 223 and 224 courses for honors credit, or 6 substitute credits as approved by the honors advisor. In addition, to fulfill Honors in the Major in Spanish, candidates are required to take a minimum of 18 honors credits in courses at or above the 300 level. Undergraduate courses in which Honors candidates can enroll for honors credits are indicated by "%," "!," and "H" in the Timetable.
Honors candidates should consult with the instructor within the first two weeks of the semester regarding the honors work to be done in each particular undergraduate course. Of the 18 credits, 6 must be in the Senior Honors Thesis (681/682) or two graduate courses or seminars (totaling 6 credits) taken with special permission of the department honors advisor. Honors candidates are sometimes encouraged to attend a graduate seminar while in the early stages of developing their senior thesis research. The faculty advisor for the Senior Honors Thesis should be consulted about the project as early as possible (and no later than the beginning of the student's junior year) to formulate a topic and to allow the student the potential to take part in the funding cycle for their senior year.
Students should be aware that Honors in the Major is still under development, and thus should not assume that the requirements specified in this catalog are complete or fully described. Students should check with the department honors advisor at least once a year to make sure that requirements have not been modified, as well as to seek guidance about planning the best possible Honors in the Major curriculum that reflects their special interests.

4 credits in composition and conversation and 4 credits in literature courses at the 300 level and above.
