<p>Wow, I can't believe I'm even contemplating this, as I have previously sworn that I wouldn't change my major because biomedical engineering just seems to be the perfect fit. But here I am, thinking about switching from BME major with a Spanish minor, to a Spanish major w/ a natural sciences minor and maybe a computer science or web technology or fine arts minor. Anyway, that's beside the point.</p>
<p>My question is: How is the Spanish program here? Will I be walled up in the language center at THH with big headphones on all day? Or is it enjoyable? I'd appreciate some input, thanks!</p>
<p>Spanish is the second most accessible language in California, after English. USC's language programs are already top-notch but its Spanish major should be highly interactive and rewarding. If Spanish is your true calling I would recommend the Monterey Institute for Graduate School in Spanish. They are one of the best schools for mastering any language. But, by all means USC rocks at Spanish! There are copious opportunities to travel abroad to Spanish Speaking countries also.</p>
<p>hey, sam, exactly the same thing that i would have done with a bme major: med school. i just see spanish as a much more valuable tool. obviously, i'll still take a natural sciences minor to fit in the chem, bio, o chem, mo bio, physics, and physiology. but if i were to only minor in spanish, i wouldn't begin taking classes until my junior year. and since i'm a year ahead anyway, i'm thinking about taking an extra semester to double minor, that way i'll have an entire semester off before med school to travel or work or do whatever really.<br>
i'd still like to hear from others who are actually majoring (or know someone who's majoring) in spanish.</p>
<p>Cool, didn't know there was a natural science minor. Sounds like an interesting way to approach pre-med.</p>
<p>A Facebook search on people who listed Spanish as one of their concentrations gave me 354 listings. You can try emailing some of them. I'm guessing the people who have Spanish listed first would most likely be majoring in them, whereas the people who have it listed second would more likely have it as a minor (but there could be some people double majoring, who knows).</p>
