Spanish majors explore the language, literature, and cultures of the modern and historical Spanish-speaking world.
Students choose one of two concentrations. The literature and culture concentration offers classes in literature, film, visual arts, and other media from many different periods. This gives students the chance to explore the breadth and depth of the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. The language and society concentration exposes students to the historical and social contexts of Spanish-speaking communities. Students gain knowledge of the linguistic structure of the language and its different varieties, which highlights the social characteristics of communities where Spanish is used.
