Courses
The major in Spanish is a liberal arts major that offers a
wide range of courses in the language, literatures, and
cultures of the twenty Spanish-speaking countries in Europe
and Latin America. Today Spanish is the second language of
the United States and one of the three most important and
widely spoken languages in the world. The program in Spanish
provides students with the opportunity to acquire thorough
linguistic proficiency as well as in-depth knowledge of both
cultural and literary topics.
The major in Spanish is complementary to interests in a wide
range of other disciplines including anthropology, international
studies, history, Latin American and Iberian studies, comparative
literature, economics, environmental studies, humanities, and
political science, among others. Students majoring in these or
other areas, as well as those considering a career in medicine or
law, are encouraged to consider completing the Spanish major as one
of two majors.
