REQUESTED START DATE: TERM: FALL YEAR: 2012
A. Rationale/Justification for the Course:
The Spanish Section has determined that a new course, Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature, is needed
on the graduate level. A similar course on the undergraduate level has existed for many years [SPNH 402 Advanced
Readings in Spanish American Literature], but no equivalent on the graduate level has been available. Under the new
configuration of our MA degree in Spanish, his new course [SPNH 502 , Advanced Readings in Spanish American
Literature], will become a restrictive elective for students in our Master of Arts in World Languages-Spanish. We plan
to offer SPNH 502 “piggy-backed” with the corresponding undergraduate SPNH 402. This “piggy-backing”
arrangement will guarantee that this additional graduate-level course can actually be offered once per year, even if
graduate enrollments are less than the minimum number needed to hold the course on its own. Graduate students
Advanced Readings in Spanish American Literature course (SPNH 502) will be expected to perform at a higher level
(e.g., exhibit a more advanced quality of work and class participation) and to do additional assignments (e.g., longer
papers, extra research) than their undergraduate counterparts (taking SPNH 402).
