The exemption is for the course(s), not the credit; students still need a minimum of 30 semester hours in Spanish numbered 215 or above and 3 semester hours in Latin American studies.

The following area studies programs offer an opportunity to concentrate on the primary aspects of language, civilization, and culture. They are intended to result in majors consisting of a nucleus of courses in one of the foreign languages, its literature, and its culture, around which a body of courses in not more than two other related fields is constructed.

It is essential that the student consult with the advisors for the major early in her course of study, preferably in the first year. In any case, admission to the program is contingent upon her obtaining written approval from the major advisor of each of the cooperating departments by the end of the fall term of the sophomore year. Courses prerequisite to the major in each of the related areas should be completed by the conclusion of the sophomore year.
