All students who choose to major or minor in Spanish will be assigned an adviser based on last name. To declare a major or minor, please make an appointment with your departmental adviser for Spring 2018. Allow about 15 minutes for the meeting, and bring with you the completed Major and Minor Declaration form, the Major and Minor information form and a list of the courses (including semester and year) you have already taken in the department (if you have taken any).
You will likely have questions about courses and requirements as the semester progresses, so please check the degree requirements in the Undergraduate Catalog . Any further questions may be directed to your major or minor adviser according to your last name. Should you have further questions, address them to the Director of Undergraduate Studies, Prof. Tatjana Pavlovic at tpavlov@tulane.edu.
Students returning from a semester or year abroad should contact their major –minor advisors in order to get Tulane equivalences for the classes taken abroad.
