I concur with !@#$%!.
I personally think a major in a foreign language is yet another scam by the revered American educational institution.
Unless you have a specific career in mind that would require a degree in such a study (most of which are academically oriented), a specialization would be useless. There are plenty of other avenues open to you if you simply seek to master the language.
Save yourself the $80 K you'd spend on a university degree and go on holiday in Mexico - you'll learn more there in a few months than you will in a year of study at a university.
Hell, give that money to me - I'll watch Days of Our Lives on the Spanish channel and teach you myself.
And while there are certainly technical and cultural aspects of the language that are best learned from those that are experienced, the Romance languages are by far the easiest to learn, especially on your own.
Major in Literature and minor in Spanish, so that you can woo hot bitches into the sack.
