The major in Spanish is designed to immerse students in the complexity and diversity of literary and intellectual traditions in Latin American and Iberian cultures while they achieve language fluency. Students are encouraged to focus on particular interests, such as literary and cultural history, Latina and Latino studies, Lusophone studies, race and ethnicity, film, and cultural history. Many students fulfill some of the major requirements through courses taken in study abroad programs.
