Spanish
Bachelor of Arts
Spanish Bachelor's Degree
A Spanish major provides students with a base of knowledge not only in languages but also in cultural content so vital for understanding and navigating the world. Spanish majors learn to think analytically and critically in courses on literature, culture, linguistics, film, and art, and they acquire clarity of thought and expression through frequent writing assignments and speaking activities.
Spanish majors are required to study abroad. Students participate in Spanish language immersion programs where they polish their language skills and develop first-hand familiarity with the culture of a Spanish-speaking country.
The Spanish faculty is committed to mentoring and guiding students through the options of double majors, minors, complementary certificate programs, and elective courses. We limit our class sizes so professors can address the needs of individual learners and encourage dialogue, collaboration, openness, and critical thinking.
To complement coursework, the Spanish Club and the Sigma Delta Pi national Spanish honor society sponsor events such as weekly conversation meetings and foreign film series. The Spanish major challenges undergraduate students in a supportive environment where they can thrive and prepare themselves for a successful future.
