Honors

In addition to the Davis Honors Challenge, the campus-wide honors program, the Spanish department offers the opportunity for motivated students to earn high or highest honors within their Spanish major. The requirements for earning high and highest honors in Spanish are in addition to the regular requirements for the major in Spanish.

Eligibility Requirements

Students, at the end of their junior year (135 units), must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 in courses required for their Spanish major.

Honors Requirements

The honors in Spanish program is focused on the candidate writing a senior thesis. Normally, a student will undertake the honors project during the first two quarters of the senior year; other arrangements must be authorized by the department chair.

  • Write a senior thesis under the direction of a faculty member.
  • Enroll in at least six units, or a maximum of 8 units of Spanish 194H distributed over two quarters.
