Notes: Arabic , Chinese, Russian, and Spanish may be offered as 6-hour intensive courses for 1001 & 1002 and for 2001 &
2002. Courses in languages other than Spanish should be completed no later than the junior year to avoid possible scheduling conflicts, as they are often single section courses, especially during the senior year when MLAN 4440 and
EDUC 4000 are taken as “Block.”
Students may take up to two activity courses to count as elective credit. PHED:
MILITARY SCIENCE: All MILS courses may count as general elective credit or toward the Leadership Minor with military track option.
MAJOR AREA - SPANISH COURSES:
1) Required courses: SPAN 3030, 3050, 4150, 4155, 4160
2) Two required from: SPAN 4170*,4180*, 4190*, 4195*, 4250*, 4260*
3) Three required from: SPAN 3070, 3150, 3210, 4170*, 4190*, 4250*, 4260*
* Must be taken at NGCSU
A course may not be counted twice. For example, SPAN 4170 taken in area 2 may not also count in area 3.
EDUCATION SEQUENCE: EDUC 2110, 20, and 30 should be taken in the spring of the sophomore year, before entry into the program.
EDUC 3002 , 3003, & 3003L are taken together as a “block” and are offered each semester. They should be taken during the junior year, preferably fall semester. ML
AN 4440 and EDUC 4000 are also taken as a “block” and are offered Fall semester ONLY, normally during the senior year. Students taking MLAN 4440 and EDUC 4000 must not take any other courses before 11:00 any day of the week, since they are in field placement one half of the semester during the morning. EDUC 4103, 4104, & 4105, and 3540 make up the teacher internship (student teaching), which is done after all other EDUC courses are completed. Student teaching normally takes place spring of the senior year.
GACE: GACE replaces the PRAXIS II Test. Education students must pass the Georgia Assessment for the Certification of Educators II test in
Spanish in order to be certified to teach in Georgia.
ELECTIVES: Restricted Elective- SPAN 1001 (if appropriate), or CMST 3810, or a HIST 3000/4000-level course.
ASSESSMENT: The student must help the advisor in maintaining an assessment file in which documentation is kept from two different periods, during the intermediate-level courses, and during the last semester of study. A Senior Assessment Exam is required.
OTHER:
Read under “Academic Majors, Academic Minors, and Field of Study” in the front of the NGCSU Bulletin. Note in particular that a total 39 hours of upper level courses are required for the degree. If the upper-level major and minor courses do not add up to 39 hours, additional upper-level courses must be taken in other areas (e.g., electives). No upper-level courses may be listed in the Core (Areas A
– F).
These notes are meant as a quick reference on a few important points concerning advisement. They are not to be taken as complete. The ultimate source of information for students and for advisors is the NGCSU Bulletin 2010-2012. Students are responsible for reading the catalog and planning their programs of study, aided by help from the faculty advisor.
