Degree requirements
are usually listed as a certain number of hours, but what each degree
really requires is the completion of a certain level of competency in
a foreign language. Therefore, if you place into or above the required
level, you will make up the hours by taking other courses related to the
major. For example, a Bachelor of Arts degree in social science requires
14 hours or proficiency through the 4th semester. If you place into SPAN
2311 or 2301, you will fulfill that requirement by taking only two courses
for a total of 6 hours: SPAN 2311 and SPAN 2312 or SPAN 2301 and SPAN
2302. In order to receive elective credit towards graduation for the
introductory hours you would skip, however, you must earn at least a B
in the first Spanish course you take at UHD. If you get a C, you will
get no retroactive elective credit for the earlier Spanish courses out
of which you placed.
