The program in Hispanic Studies is designed to prepare students for participation and intercultural exchange at the local, national, and international levels. In keeping with the university’s liberal arts tradition, and in view of today’s global demands, majors develop proficiency in the Spanish language at a professional level, along with a rich and comprehensive understanding of Hispanic culture, origins and history, and their impact on our nation and the world. A major in Hispanic studies provides competitive communication skills in Spanish and a strong knowledge base that can support a career in business, education, communications, political science, journalism, criminal justice, law, and many other fields.
