The Spanish Major seeks to guide student development in Spanish conversation, develop reading and compositional skills, introduce major Spanish language literary works, heighten cultural sensitivity, and encourage creative and reflective thinking with respect to the history and civilization of Hispanic countries.
The Spanish Major offers language instruction starting from the beginning level and continuing through the advanced language learning levels. Various Spanish upper-division courses focus on the study of the literature and culture of Spanish speaking communities around the world. For those interested in educating others in these areas, we offer majors in English and Spanish Education, as well as offering a certificate program in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Language.
The Language, Literature and Culture Department welcomes students who are interested in learning about the impulses, dreams, and lives of famous authors and individuals who have shared these experiences through their literature, their language, and their values and belief systems.
