Additionally, the Department of Spanish & Portuguese along with the College of Liberal Arts offers Purdue students different options for pursuing a major in Spanish: 

• DEGREE PLUS:
  For non-liberal arts majors, the College of Liberal Arts offers a double-major option. Students can complete a degree from the College of Liberal Arts along with a degree from another academic area without having to fulfill the CLA core curriculum. For example, a student can complete a double major in Spanish and Engineering without taking the CLA core courses. For more information, visit the College of Liberal Arts Degree+ website. 

• DEGREE IN 3:
  The College of Liberal Arts offers the opportunity for students to complete their degree in three years. The Degree in 3 major allows students to enter the workforce or graduate school a year earlier than traditional plans of study, while also providing a cost-effective way to complete an undergraduate degree. Students can complete the three-year option with or without AP credit by adding summer sessions to traditional coursework in the Fall and Spring semesters. The Degree in 3 offers a great combination of cost-savings and the opportunity to accelerate students' futures and achieve their professional goals.
