As a Spanish major, you are invited to immerse yourself into the traditions and experiences of Latin culture. Much more than simply learning words, you will converse with peers and fluent Spanish speakers in relevant contextual dialogues and be fully prepared to interact and exist in the communities you learn about. Understanding the nature of the language and a proficiency in conversational and formal usage is the goal for each student. Course learning highlights include:

  • Historical and sociological examination of the role of religion in culture
  • Training to activate strategies to understand longer and complex texts
  • Producing well structured written texts on wide variety of topics
  • Introduction to translation theory and prose documents
  • Experiential discussions and field work specific to global business professions
  • Exploring Hispanic linguistics through field work and practical application
  • Full immersion language experience while living with a host family
