Spanish Certificate

15 credit hours

Only degree-seeking Lindenwood undergraduate students are eligible to earn this career certificate.

The Certificate in Spanish will allow students to gain the necessary skills to successfully communicate in Spanish at the Intermediate-Advanced level. After completing the required coursework and culminating learning experience, students will be able to effectively communicate, in speaking and writing, with the majority of Spanish-speaking individuals that they may encounter in their professional lives (i.e. patients, clients, students, coworkers, business associates, etc.) While all courses include some element of culture, these courses focus on developing speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in addition to cultural awareness and sensitivity. This certificate is only available to students starting at SPA 10100 or SPA 10200, and students placing into SPA 10200 must take a further three-credit-hours in SPA beyond the courses completed in satisfaction of the below requirements.
