MCLA, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams, MA. - Modern Languages Can I major in Spanish at MCLA?

"Transferring to MCLA was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. Being able to learn from and connect with the faculty and staff equipped me with greater networking capabilities/skills and the opportunity to use them outside of the institution, preparing me for the road ahead. Taking part and engaging in different clubs and organizations on campus helped to shape and guide me for countless opportunities."

Can I major in Spanish at MCLA?

The answer is: yes! Students interested in making Spanish their chosen subject of study, can incorporate it within a Interdisciplinary Studies major with a concentration in Modern Languages. Such a course of studies can be combined with disciplines such as Sociology, Business Administration and/or Economics, History, English/Communications, Fine and Performing Arts as well as with a Teaching Certification program.

The requirements are the same as for any Interdisciplinary Studies concentration: a maximum of 12 credits of lower division courses (in Spanish and/or another language) and a maximum of 18 credits of upper division courses.

Study abroad is highly recommended for students who wish to undertake this type of program.
