The Spanish major provides a program of studies designed to give students fluency in oral and written communication, the ability to read, understand, and analyze Hispanic literature, and an appreciation of the culture of Spain and Latin America. The Spanish major also prepares the student for travel and study abroad, for careers in international business and in government, for professions involving foreign language, and for teaching and other graduate work in Spanish. With a major in Spanish, students will acquire a foreign language proficiency of value not only in career pursuits, but also in the broader experience of today's world.
