Credited courses completed as part of the A.A. or A.S. that do not meet a specific UCO degree requirement transfer to UCO as electives and may count toward the 124-hour minimum. Students should consult an academic advisor to determine how elective courses apply toward the bachelor’s degree. Information for individual courses can be found on the UCO website under the UCO Transfer Equivalency Database.

Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Modern Language-Spanish

Degrees from UCO have requirements applicable to all degrees and requirements specific to the program/major.

Students must meet all bachelor’s degree requirements at UCO to include minimums of:

40 hours of upper division coursework
30 hours in residence at UCO
15 of the last 30 hours must be taken in residence at UCO
60 hours from baccalaureate granting institutions
124 total hours

UCO Major Requirements

This section details the course requirements for this major at UCO. The UCO course is followed by the community college equivalent or substituted course. Some courses may be taken at the community college but may or may not apply to the associate major or degree. Consult with an academic advisor for that information.

Major Requirements: 39-55 hours

Modern Language - Spanish

Elementary Spanish: 0-8 hours

SPAN 1114 Elementary Spanish I (SPAN 1115)
SPAN 1224 Elementary Spanish II (SPAN 1225)

A maximum of eight hours of credit for Elementary Spanish may be earned by examination. Alternatively, two (2) years of high school Spanish may be substituted for SPAN 1114 and another two (2) years of high school Spanish for SPAN 1224. This fulfills the language requirement but conveys no
credit hours toward graduation. Evaluation of a student’s language skills may lead to placement in a more advanced course and waiving of prerequisite courses. Only testing through acknowledged processes (CLEP or AP, for example) conveys credit hours for prerequisite or lower-level language courses.

Elementary Addition Language: 0-8 hours (Additional language from RSC.)

The same testing or placement conditions apply here as for Elementary Spanish.

Intermediate Spanish: 6 hours

The Academic Advisors along with the information in the official catalogs at both institutions are critical to the understanding of the specifics of degree completion.
