A BA combining intermediate-to-advanced Spanish language work with study of Iberian and Latin American cultures and literatures. Suited to students who want to build communicative Spanish proficiency, cultural literacy, and research skills for careers or further study involving Spanish-speaking communities.
Coursework centers on language acquisition and cultural study. Students examine oral and written Spanish systems to support grammar and varied communicative contexts, advance interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational Spanish skills, and analyze artistic, literary, political, and social texts from Iberia and Latin America. The curriculum also trains students to gather, analyze, and present evidence to build critical cultural, social, or historical arguments.

Spanish language skills and cultural literacy prepare graduates for roles that engage Spanish-speaking populations in areas such as education, public service, politics, and professions where bilingual communication and cultural competence are assets. The major also supports continued academic study or work in international and multilingual settings.
