About the Associate of Arts - Spanish: Pre-Major Degree

DESCRIPTION

Liberal Arts and Sciences Four-Year College Transfer Program

The Associate of Arts Spanish Pre-Major provides the initial two years of coursework focused on Spanish language, literature, and cultures, aimed at transfer to four-year degree programs. Tailored for those planning to major in Spanish or related fields, it ensures transferable credits and emphasizes linguistic proficiency, critical thinking, and cultural understanding. The program offers online and face-to-face classes, advising students to consult with future institutions for major-specific requirements. With access to academic advising, students are guided through their course selection and transfer processes, preparing them for advanced studies and global opportunities in Spanish-speaking contexts.

Students who plan to transfer should consult with the four-year college/university regarding specific requirements for a major and credit transfer details. Contact an MATC advisor for more information.

Successful completion of this degree requires a grade-point average of 2.0 (C) or higher, with 25% of the credits taken at MATC. Students in their final semester should choose a course incorporating service learning.
