Spanish Language and Literature, B.A./Local Government Management, Graduate Certificate, Combined B.A./Graduate Certificate (Pending Final Approval)

The Combined Spanish Language and Literature, B.A./Local Government Management Graduate Certificate option is designed for high achieving undergraduate students pursuing a Spanish Language and Literature, B.A. and a Graduate Certificate in Local Government Management.

Students admitted to this combined program can take 6 credits of graduate-level courses while still an undergraduate and pay undergraduate tuition rates. Within the B.A. requirements, these 6 credits would replace any two courses that fulfill the Spanish Language and Literature B.A. However, one of the following courses is still required: SPN 4200, SPN 4880, or SPN 4890. For students pursuing this B.A./certificate program, students do not need to compensate for the 2-credit difference in the major.
