International Certificate Program with a Focus in Spanish for Biomedical Science Students
Courses in language, culture and area studies combine to provide a certificate in Spanish and international studies for students majoring in Biomedical Science. The certificate program prepares the graduate for positions in multinational companies, foreign organizations and specific countries in which Spanish is used. Because of limited resources, the program will have a cap on the number of students admitted to the program. All courses in the program must be completed with a grade of C or better. The certificate will be awarded upon completion of a B.S. degree in Biomedical Science. To earn the certificate, students are required to take:
| SPAN 200-level Courses 1 | 6 credits |
| Internationalization Courses 2 | |
| Humanities or Visual and Performing Arts | 3 credits |
| Social and Behavioral Sciences | 3 credits |
| Spanish culture/literature/advanced language | 3 credits |
| International Experience Component 3 |
NOTES:
- See your major academic advisor for recommended or required language sections.
- See the Department of Hispanic Studies and your major academic advisor for a list of courses that meets each of these requirements. Often, a course, if chosen in consultation with your major academic advisor, will satisfy both an internationalization requirement and a University Core Curriculum requirement.
- The international experience requirement is individualized, and it must be approved by the Biomedical Science Program. It may be satisfied by an approved study abroad program, an international internship, a directed study experience.
