  2. Students need a second major, minor or approved program. This suggested sequence shows a History minor (21 hrs.). Students must maintain a 2.75 GPA in the major. No grade below a C for any required course in the major will be accepted. Since courses above 302 are not offered every year, in many cases a Spanish major should take whatever upper level courses are offered in a given semester, provided he or she meets the prerequisites and corequisites (generally 301 or 302). Students may finish earlier if they attend summer school at WCU or another approved institution.
