Undergraduate Program

Students interested in declaring a Spanish major should contact the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Lisa Surwillo: surwillo@stanford.edu. Students interested in declaring a Spanish or Portuguese minor should contact the Minors Coordinator, Paul Schroeder: paulschr@stanford.edu. Students with general questions about the program should contact the Peer Adviser, Chris Potter: cepotter@stanford.edu.

Double Majors
The major in Spanish and Portuguese is designed to combine readily with a second major in another field and with study abroad. Students may not count the same course to fulfill requirements in both majors.

Intensive Summer Program
Stanford University offers first-year intensive language and conversation courses in Spanish during the summer. For further information, contact the department or the Summer Session office.

Courses for Heritage Language Speakers
The department offers a series of second- and third-year courses especially designed for students who grew up in homes where Spanish is spoken and who wish to develop their existing linguistic strengths. The suffix ³B² in course numbers below indicates these courses.

Proficiency Notation
Seniors are encouraged to qualify by examination for the SPANISH or PORTUGUESE Language Proficiency Notation on their transcript, which certifies foreign language competence. They should contact the Language Center (patricia@stanford.edu) at least two quarters prior to graduation.
