Any or all of the above courses can be reduced or eliminated by making a grade of B- or better in the next higher course. For example, a student who completes a 300 level Spanish course with a grade of B- or better will receive retro-credits to his or her transcript for SPAN 101 Beginning Spanish I, SPAN 102 Beginning Spanish II, SPAN 201 Intermediate Spanish I, and SPAN 202 Intermediate Spanish II for a total of 12 retro-credits in Spanish.
Notes:
To be certified, a Spanish Teacher Certification Minor must pass Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction certification requirements. To reach the mandated level of language competence, all Spanish Teacher Certification Minors will be required to spend time in study abroad usually at UW-Superior's cooperating institution in Costa Rica (or to participate in an alternative 30-day immersion experience).
A student should complete SPAN 202 Intermediate Spanish II and usually at least one 300-level Spanish course at UW-Superior before participating in Spanish Study Abroad.
