We are in a continuous process of revision and improvement as a department. In keeping with current trends in our field, we just implemented a curriculum revision in the department that has strengthened the program and keeps us competitive with other state schools in the region. If you are looking for information concerning a Spanish Major or Minor, please click here.

It is our objective that Spanish majors reach a native or near-native fluency in the language and gain a thorough knowledge of Hispanic culture and literature. Our Fulbright Teaching Assistants and regular faculty provide extra hours to practice the language outside of the classroom in weekly tertulias and frequent cultural events. The School Districts have some successful programs in Spanish and thousands of High School students take up Spanish in and around the state. Our classes are conducted in Spanish and we expect students to become totally immersed in the language.
