Complete Spanish license course requirements (Spanish, education, general education) with substitutions, waivers, and clep exams permitted with committee approval.  

Students should be aware that Viterbo University offers a Latin American Studies minor.  This minor is not licensable, but would be beneficial for Spanish students to consider as it requires only a minimal number of courses as this minor overlaps with the Spanish major.  To obtain this minor, along with the Spanish major, on a Viterbo University transcript a student would need to complete at least 30 undergraduate credits at Viterbo.  The Latin American Studies minor is not required for a Spanish major at Viterbo University.
