Based on your placement test scores, you may have to take developmental courses in reading, English, and/or mathematics before taking the core curriculum courses in your major. However, you may enroll in Spanish courses with departmental permission while taking developmental courses.

Yes. The Liberal Arts. AA Journalism degree program prepares students to transfer to institutions offering a B.A. degree in Spanish as well as many other Humanities and Liberal Arts B.A. degree programs. Typically, your AA credits will be applied to the first two years of a Bachelor’s degree program. While studying at ECC, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with the degree requirements of any bachelor’s program you wish to transfer to upon graduation.

If you do not need developmental coursework and you register for an average of 15 credits each semester, you can complete the degree in two years. You may shorten the amount of time required by taking courses in the summer sessions.
