西班牙语课程提供本科和辅修课程。在语言教学的最初十四小时（四门课程）之后，未成年人需要十八小时（六门课程）的高级工作，而专业课程则需要二十四小时（八门课程）的高级工作。虽然有选修课，但您必须修读某些必修课程（在上述要求之内）才能获得专业或副修课程，因此请务必牢记这一点。西班牙语部分赞助了Sigma Delta Pi的本地分会，西班牙国家荣誉学会以及一个向所有学生开放的西班牙俱乐部。
Spanish is spoken by more than 400 million people worldwide and is, according to Ethnologue, the language with the second-highest number of native speakers in the world (Chinese is number one). Spanish is, as well, an official language in more than 20 countries and a number of international organizations. In the U.S., Spanish is rapidly growing as a first or second language for many individuals, and the U.S. Census Bureau reports that, in the U.S., more than 37.5 million people speak Spanish at home. In addition, it is one of the six official languages of the United Nations. The Hispanic cultures have had quite an impact on the arts, literature, philosophy, and architecture over time. And it is for all these reasons that a Spanish major is a great preparation for employment opportunities in business, social services, government, health care, communication, teaching, or any another profession that requires bilingual written or oral communication skills and cultural understanding.<br><br>We here in the Spanish section of the Foreign Languages Department at Midwestern State University are excited about your interest in our program. When you enroll in our courses, we believe youll find that we care about our students. We want you to learn, grow, and develop to your maximum potential, and our classes are such that students get to know their professors and each otheryou definitely will not be just a number, or just another student. You are special and will receive individual attention both in and out of class.<br><br>The Spanish program offers an undergraduate minor and major. The minor requires eighteen hours (six courses) of advanced work beyond the initial fourteen hours (four courses) of language instruction, and the major requires twenty-four hours (eight courses) of advanced work. While there are electives, there are certain required courses (within the previously mentioned requirements) that you must take in order to obtain a major or minor, so be sure to keep that in mind.
