The Spanish major is founded in the college’s liberal arts program. Successful Spanish majors think critically, articulate their ideas correctly, express themselves properly both in writing and in conversation, and have the ability to see other cultures from different perspectives. Naturally, Spanish majors are fluent in Spanish language. The coursework in the major emphasizes the study of the literature of the Hispanic world.

Spanish majors are also knowledgeable of the Hispanic cultures not only through their literature but also through their personal experience in a Hispanic country. Spanish majors live and study in a Hispanic country in May Term, or for a semester or a year abroad.
