Spanish - Linguistics

The Major in Spanish provide students with a solid foundation in the Spanish language. Indeed, as the number of Spanish-speaking residents in the United States continues to grow, so too do the career opportunities available to Spanish majors.

The Spanish major provides students with two options: Linguistics or Literature. Both options prepare students who intend to continue their studies in graduate school either in the academic fields of Spanish Linguistics, Romance Linguistics, Spanish Literature and Latin American literature. These options are designed also for students who plan to teach Spanish in high schools.

The Department of Modern Languages also offers a Minor in Spanish. This minor complements and enhances all majors. It is particularly useful to students majoring in business, in the public service fields, in French, or in any other field where knowledge of another language is desirable.
