**If you have already taken all levels of Spanish at PCC, please speak with our office about additional course possibilities for participation and study on this program. We cannot offer students Spanish in the third year (can only be taken at university). If you wish to study at the same level again for your own progression, this is a possibility, but it will not count for additional credit toward a PCC degree.
