Spanish
If you are committed to the study of foreign languages and cultures, the Spanish Department is dedicated to deepening your understanding of what it means to be a global citizen.
We will prepare you for active and respectful engagement in the Spanish-speaking world, both within the United States and abroad.
Our Mission
The Spanish Department prepares students with the skills to become critical thinkers and explore cultural productions within social, political, and historical contexts. Our curriculum fosters awareness of the power differentials that perpetuate social injustices and inform cultural and cross-cultural assumptions, both in and beyond the Spanish-speaking world.
