Majors / Minors in Spanish & French: General Info.
A major or minor in Spanish provides students with the opportunity to develop their language proficiency while learning about varied Hispanic cultures and civilizations. Majors and minors in Spanish are encouraged to double major in another field, such as Portuguese, history, economics, English, anthropology, political science, or nursing.
The programs of study for our majors and minors are built on interdisciplinary coursework in literature and cultures while also developing students' interactional and linguistic proficiency. The goal of the major is thus to provide an integrated learning experience for students in which each course weaves together language and culture within specific content offerings.
We strongly recommend that majors and minors consider a study abroad experience. Please see Study Abroad for more information.
