Major: Spanish and Latin American Studies
Having the ability to communicate successfully across cultures, as well as the expertise to apply language and cultural engagement skills in local and global situations, will enhance your career prospects in a range of professions with an international outlook. Studying Spanish will help you to work around the world.

The Spanish and Latin American Studies major will develop your proficiency in communicating in a natural and effective way in any Spanish-speaking environment. You’ll learn about the main social, political, economic and cultural issues of Spanish-speaking societies, as well as engage with the themes of rebellion, repression, passion and mobility that inform the Spanish and Latin American worlds. You’ll gain insight into the Latin American influence on English traditions and culture literature; dance, such as the tango, salsa and merengue; and films featuring Latin American actors, writers and directors.
