• at least four (4) of the five courses must be upper-division courses, for a minimum of 12 credits upper-division per block/area;
• other Humanities areas may be included in the plan, in addition to the two blocks of courses;
• first-year language courses will not count in the major.

Advising:

Choose your advisor according to the areas your degree will focus on; if your plan includes primarily Speech Communication and Spanish, for example, ask a faculty member in one of those areas to advise you. If you want help identifying an appropriate faculty member, see the division administrative program assistant in HSS 313.
