Bachelor of Arts - Spanish & Latin American Studies

Learners study Spanish language along with the literature, culture, history, and politics of Spain and of Latin America.

The threefold emphasis—advanced verbal and written communication, research skills and analysis, and broad knowledge of diverse Spanish-speaking cultures—prepares students for graduate study or careers in a variety of areas, including business, economics, journalism, history, international relations, comparative literature, law, library science, medicine, political science, social services, and diplomatic service.

Students often pair Spanish and Latin American studies with another concentration in order to enter professions related to bilingual education, social work, government and international organizations, diplomacy, business, journalism, law, and medicine.
