Your Spanish major will move you to acquire proficiency in the use of the Spanish language as well as enroll in courses on Hispanic language, culture and literature. You will be drawn into different cultures around the world where you will connect with them not just intellectually, but personally. Spanish is more than a set of grammar rules and vocabulary lists. It is a living, breathing organism that is essential to understanding today's global, multicultural environment.

Since language is crucial to the understanding of history and culture, your core courses will impart a grammatical, syntactical and cultural proficiency enabling you to adapt to an increasingly diverse world. In addition, you can enroll in courses such as:

Spanish Stylistics
History of the Spanish Language
Spanish for Business and Commerce
Human Rights in Latin American Poetry
Literature in Spanish Canada

As a Spanish major, you will receive a broad general education making you an attractive candidate for a wide range of career opportunities.
