Spanish

The Spanish major provides a base of knowledge in language, literature, culture, film, professional and medical Spanish that can prepare you for exciting careers and open many doors. The sequence of courses will lead to a senior capstone on a research topic that fascinates you, along with personalized mentoring for it. The major concentration in Spanish consists of a minimum of 21 upper-division semester hours of coursework. A Spanish major can be combined with another major or minor such as pre-med, education, and nursing, just to name a few. The mission of the Spanish program is to cultivate appreciation and respect of other cultures, sensitivity to issues of social justice, and the ability to communicate well with the people of those cultures in their language.
