Program details
Overview
The Spanish program at the University of Manitoba awards a Bachelor of Arts in two formats: a three-year General degree (90 credit hours) or a four-year Advanced degree (120 credit hours), alongside an 18-credit-hour minor. Classes are kept small, with fewer than 20 students, to emphasize conversational practice alongside the study of Spanish literature and culture. Instruction is delivered on the Fort Garry campus, and either degree format can be completed part-time; the program does not describe a co-op, practicum, or thesis requirement. The General degree suits students planning to seek employment or enter a professional program directly after graduation, while the Advanced degree is aimed at those pursuing further study or graduate admission. It suits students who want strong spoken and written Spanish alongside literary and cultural knowledge, supporting careers in teaching, interpretation, translation, communications, library science, law, government and international affairs, social services, or business.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: Faculty of Arts admission (applies to all BA majors; no Spanish-specific admission requirement). Direct Entry (Manitoba high school students, fewer than 24 post-secondary credit hours): minimum average of 70% over English 40S, Mathematics 40S, and two academic 40S courses, with no less than 60% in each course. Advanced Entry (24+ post-secondary credit hours): minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 (C). Applicants enter the general BA without selecting a major and choose Spanish afterward; BA General in Spanish requires 90 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0 in the major, while BA Advanced requires 120 credit hours with a minimum GPA of 2.0 in faculty-required courses. Meeting these minimums does not guarantee admission.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
