BA in Spanish (Martin Campus) in Martin United States | University of Tennessee, Knoxville

Students pursuing a foreign language degree must fulfill a language immersion requirement, approved by their faculty advisor. The department helps arrange suitable placements based on individual needs, potentially involving living abroad, study abroad programs, exchange initiatives, global internships, or other intensive cultural and linguistic opportunities. Before graduating, majors must compile a portfolio with faculty guidance, containing writing samples from upper-level courses and results from two assessments: an Oral Proficiency Interview and an advanced Spanish grammar exam administered by the department.

Foreign language majors are advised to broaden their academic experience by pursuing relevant complementary studies in areas like English, political science, economics, hospitality, communications, or education. This interdisciplinary approach strengthens preparation for graduate programs and diverse career paths.
