Overview

The program in Hispanic Studies, within the Department of Romance Studies, promotes not only communication skills, but also an understanding of the various cultural contexts through interdisciplinary explorations of texts. Literature, film, history, politics, gender studies, among other topics, lead to a broad understanding of issues facing Hispanic communities at home and abroad.

Students are prepared to pursue careers in a wide range of fields where effective communication is essential, including those in which they will have contact with Spanish speakers and/or Hispanic cultures, in this country and globally. Graduates go on to pursue graduate study or work in fields such as education, law, medicine, business, international relations, and social services.

The program web link also contains career-related resources such as the Spanish Club, events on and off campus, and study abroad.
