The Spanish program offers a variety of courses in Spanish language at all levels, and in Hispanic literature, culture, and civilization. Language courses focus on the development of oral, grammar, writing, and communicative skills, while literature and culture courses help develop critical and analytical skills.

In the Spanish program you’ll find courses on language, literature, and culture at all levels, catering to students from absolute beginners to native speakers. We teach the language in the context of common tasks and situations so it is immediately useful and memorable. Tandem programs, community interaction, and opportunities to study abroad enable real-world communication from the start. We also introduce you to Spanish and Latin American customs, traditions, writing, and film, to enhance your cultural awareness and sense of global citizenship.

Advanced courses focus on particular aspects of language or culture — from translation to the Latin American novel and Spanish film — and explore questions surrounding gender, colonialism, modernization, and separatism. From “Despacito” to Don Quijote, lyric poetry to urban graffiti, and Che Guevara to Pablo Picasso, we offer you new ways of seeing the world and situating yourself in it.

A Spanish degree teaches you about connection, communication, and community. It often pairs well with majors or minors in other languages, or with subjects such as International Relations, Political Science, Geography, History, Anthropology and more.
