The result: you’ll have more time to practice Spanish with your peers and fluent speakers.
Double Major with Ease
The number of credits that you need to major in Spanish—32—is small enough to enable you to easily major in another subject to help you prepare for a career or graduate study. Common double majors at AU include history and Spanish, and Spanish and biology.
Honor Society and Study Abroad Funds
In addition to being part of a close-knit and active community of Spanish majors and professors, you can join AU’s chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish honor society.
