Objectives for the Program in Spanish

The Spanish Program offers students the opportunity to begin the study of Spanish language and culture or to continue study at an intermediate or advanced level.

Placement Exam

Students who have taken more than one year of Spanish in high school, but have not yet taken a Spanish course at Fitchburg State University, and students who speak Spanish at home are required to take a placement exam if they wish to register for a Spanish course at the college level. Based on the results of the test, the student and instructor will determine the appropriate level of class for the student.
