Spanish Language and Culture Focus
Self-designed degrees at Antioch are already unique, but future employers benefit from knowing what areas of focus students have skills and specialization in. Antioch offers a Spanish Language Focus with the following required elements:
- An OPI in which Spanish students achieve the Intermediate-High rating or better.
- Any 2 non-capstone face-to-face courses at the 300 level.
- The Capstone course (340) taken during an immersion coop.
- A Capstone Presentation for the broader campus community delivered in the term after the immersion co-op.
Incoming students with limited prior experience in the language they choose to study at Antioch typically require 27 credit hours (7 courses over 3 years) to achieve the Language Focus.
