Continuation Standards
Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.00 in all graduate/professional courses.
Annual Evaluation and Student Status
An annual assessment for each graduate student is performed every year. This assessment should take the form of a written summary of progress and activities from the student, as outlined in the annual assessment form. The assessment should be completed by the end of each Spring semester by the graduate coordinator. If the student is making adequate progress in all categories, no further action is required. If a student is scored 鈥渋nadequate鈥 in any category, the student will receive a written evaluation that includes the reasons for the decision and recommendations for correction. An evaluation of 鈥渋nadequate鈥 at a second meeting will be considered grounds for dismissal. All written communications (C.V., progress report, follow-up letters) will be maintained by the Graduate Program Coordinator and placed in the student's file.
Presentation of Research Project in a Formal Conference Environment
Most Spanish content courses include the completion of a Spanish research project, upon which students work closely with faculty members. Students are required to present such work in a formal environment, at a conference such as that of our state language association, which offers candidates a venue both for networking and service in state-wide language advocacy (i.e. internships, board service, conference service and presentation, newsletter articles).听
