FAQ's
No placement tests are required. We trust the teachers to determine the proficiency level of each high school student. If you deem your student has a solid foundation that places them close to the intermediate level, they will be accepted. An intermediate level is four semesters of Spanish, corresponding to the equivalent completion of SPAN 2020 at BGSU.
For BGSU students: SPAN 3950 is a 3-credit hour course that meets the requirements for degree completion but does not count for general elective credit toward a Spanish major or minor.
For non-BGSU students: SPAN 3950 is a 3-credit hour course that can be transferred to other higher education institutions.
Students may choose between a letter grade (ABCDF) or S/U (pass/fail). We encourage students to consult with their high school teacher to make an informed decision. If a student opts for pass/fail, they must inform us by the end of the first week. They must also receive the equivalent of a ‘C’ or better to receive an ‘S’. Please consult the BGSU Undergraduate Grading Policies for more information.
