   Spanish Senior Seminar

4. Classes taught in English do not count toward NYSED certification in teaching the target language. Teacher candidates must make sure they have 30 credits in the target language. (Note: If a student adds teacher certification in a language after graduation via a master’s degree, they will still need to have 30 credits in the target language. Therefore, anyone thinking about teaching in the future should consider earning the 30 credits in the target language prior to completing their undergraduate degree).

5. Senior Seminar does not count toward the 30 credits in the target language required by NYSED.

6. Any course taken abroad in the target language will transfer back as part of the major, regardless of content area: e.g. 3 credits of Psychology taken in Italy in the Spanish language will come back as 3 credits toward the Spanish major.

7. Courses in English taken abroad will count towards the major only if the content deals with cultural competency, literature, history, politics, arts, etc. (e.g. 3 credits of Spanish Art History, taught in Valencia, will transfer back as 3 credits toward the Spanish major). There is a maximum total of 6 credits of courses taught in English that can count toward a language major, whether taken abroad or domestically. A list of commonly taken culture courses will be provided when choosing classes from our international partner universities. Note: Courses taken abroad are approved by Program Directors for transfer credit back to Nazareth to fulfill both core and major requirements.

8. For English-language courses at Nazareth or transferred in from U.S. institutions, specific courses are allowed toward the major in the target language. These are limited to 6 credits toward the 33 credits of the major, whether taken abroad or domestically.
