Španski (Diplomirani, Manjina)

As the second largest spoken language in the United States and in the world, Spanish plays a key role in superior education. The Spanish major provides students with a strong foundation in oral and written communication, as well as solid training in textual and cultural analysis. The linguistic and cultural competency acquired through our courses allows students to communicate effectively with Latinos and Hispanics in the US and their home countries. Our diverse curricula help students develop the analytical, argumentative, and creative skills valued in most professions.

As students advance in the major, a whole world of culture, history, and linguistic knowledge opens up through upper-level courses, extracurricular events, and study abroad opportunities.

The faculty in the Spanish section includes professors from the U.S., Puerto Rico, and several Spanish-speaking countries, which enhances students' multicultural experiences. If interested, students can pursue a double major in Spanish and a different discipline in the humanities or social/natural sciences to build a holistic degree plan.

Internships, Research Opportunities, and More

The professors in the Spanish section are outstanding educators and internationally recognized scholars, who often teach courses linked to their compelling research fields, which include:

• Contemporary Spanish literature and culture
• Sociolinguistics and Judeo-Spanish (Ladino) language
• Second language acquisition
• Detective fiction and memory studies in Latin America
• Caribbean literature and Gothic fiction
• Chican@ and Latin@ literature and culture
• Hispanics in the US
• Colonial literature, cartography and expeditions

Our internship program allows our majors to work with us as events planners and coordinators, creating opportunities for all students to practice the language they're studying and to learn more about the culture of the regions in which it is spoken.
