3. Three courses from the following, taught in Spanish:
   1. Up to two courses may be in Latin American, Latino and/or Spanish Peninsular culture/civilization/or film subjects in the Department of Romance Languages. (Students in programs abroad may select from a wide range of courses in these subjects within History, Art History, Geography, Civilization, and other disciplines.)
   2. Up to one course may be in 100-level language such as 121, 122, 124, etc. (Students participating in programs abroad may select from a wide range of courses taught in other fields regardless of content.)
   3. Additional 100-level courses in literature may take the place of any or all of the courses in 1 and 2.
4. One additional course (may be in English)
   A course on Spanish Peninsular, U.S. Latino, and/or Latin American literature, culture, civilization, film, or theory; OR courses including at least 50% such content in other disciplines or subjects such as History, Latino Studies, Music, Dance, Anthropology, Ladino Studies, etc.

General Requirements:

• At least one Spanish language literature course (Spanish 31, 32, 34, 35, and the 100-level) must be in Latin American literature and at least one must be in Peninsular literature.
• The Department highly recommends that seniors returning from overseas programs enroll in two "100-level" Tufts courses during their final year of study. Normally at least one of the required "100-level" literature courses will be taken during the senior year at Tufts.
• No more than one credit in Independent Study may be counted toward the major.
• No more than two credits combining an Independent Study and an honors thesis may be counted toward the major.
• Only courses of C- or better may be applied to the major.

The Senior Year
The Department highly recommends that seniors returning from overseas programs enroll in two "100-level" courses on the Tufts campus during their final year of study. Normally it is expected that at least one of the four required "100-level" literature courses will be taken during the senior year on the Tufts campus itself.

The survey courses 31, 32, 34, and 35 are not appropriate options for senior majors; those who have not completed the required survey courses should see their adviser to choose suitable equivalents at the "100" level.
