Spanish
The United States is on track to become the world’s biggest Spanish-speaking nation by 2050. As a Spanish major, you’ll be equipped to communicate more broadly and effectively in our increasingly bilingual society. Beyond demonstrating proficiency in the language, you’ll be immersed in the history and literature of Spanish civilization. Students also have the opportunity to hone their skills through a variety of study abroad opportunities in Spain and Latin America.

“Whether I am teaching beginning students to see the beauty of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture, or working through complicated philosophical and theological ideas in Spanish with more advanced students, I love how Spanish language and literature offer a lens through which we can more clearly see truth, goodness, and beauty.”
Todd Mack, Spanish
