Overview

Students majoring in Spanish learn to communicate with people from Latin America and Spain . . . and so much more. Master the basics of grammar and conversation, then move on to advanced classes in Latin American and Spanish literature and culture. Our teaching methods follow the standards of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages to give you both linguistic and cultural proficiency.

Customize your Spanish program! Our flexible major in World Languages and Cultures allows you to combine Spanish classes with work in other departments related to international or diversity studies. Choose coursework from areas such as history, geography, or political science. Or pick up an introductory course in French, German, or Chinese. Many students double major or minor in related fields such as Latin American Studies. 

A major in World Languages and Cultures with a concentration in Spanish gives you skills employers want. Our students can form relationships with people from diverse communities, work comfortably with uncertainty and ambiguity, and communicate effectively in both English and Spanish. Our recent graduates currently enjoy careers including insurance agent, law enforcement dispatcher, nurse, behavior specialist, travel agent, college admissions recruiter, study abroad coordinator, and lawyer.
