Spanish and Portuguese Language Program Mission
The mission of the Spanish and Portuguese Language Program is to help students attain communicative and cultural competence in Spanish and Portuguese. We offer transformative learning experiences that promote global citizenship and that foster ways of seeing and interpreting the world through the lenses of Hispanophone and Lusophone languages and cultures.
Undergraduate Studies in Spanish
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, one of the three most widely spoken languages in the world, and one of the five diplomatic languages of the United Nations. The program in Spanish provides students with the opportunity to acquire thorough linguistic proficiency as well as in-depth knowledge of cultural and literary topics. The Spanish major opens up a world of literature, history, philosophy, art and culture, and is an excellent preparation for careers in law, diplomacy, medicine, business, the arts, academics, journalism, and education. Students may also select Spanish as one of two majors, and should consult with the DUS about a specialized course of study. Read More…
