Online Language Courses

Student Eligibility

Online courses are available for both degree-seeking and non-degree seeking students.  Current students can enroll through UAccess.  Non-degree seeking and students from other universities will need to contact Arizona Online.  

Online Course Format

The Spanish and Portuguese Department offers students the opportunity to complete a Spanish Minor or Major 100% online with 15 week and 7.5 week (accelerated courses) options. The course content is divided into modules that will be released every Monday morning. Students who are enrolled in accelerated courses will have to turn in assignments on Wednesdays and Sundays. Students who are in 15-week classes will have to turn in assignments on Sundays at 11:59pm (AZ time).

The online courses are asynchronous, meaning that there are not scheduled meeting times. However, the 100 and 200-level courses (and some of the 300 level courses) will require students to work within their personal schedule to set up 1-1 meeting times for the following activities:

  • weekly partner dialogues in which they will practice speaking in Spanish.  
  • midterm and final oral exams

Arizona Online gives you the freedom to earn your degree, your way. Learn from the same professors, enjoy the same resources, and earn the same degree. All from the comfort of home.
