Bachelor of Arts - Spanish

St. Kate's Spanish majors hone their skills and share their appreciation for Spanish language and culture in the classroom and in the co-curriculum. In their coursework, faculty and students explore diverse aesthetic, linguistic and cultural traditions in global contexts of social justice. The Spanish Club and Sigma Delta Pi, the National Spanish Honor Society, offer further opportunities to interact in a Spanish-speaking environment.

Spanish students are encouraged to engage in experiential or service learning. Together with the Career Development Office, the department enthusiastically encourages earning credit towards the major through internships. In recent years students have interned at the Resource Center of the Américas, Neighborhood House, La Clínica, Casa de Esperanza, Children's Hospital, C.L.U.E.S., Adams Spanish Immersion, and The Jane Addams School for Democracy.

Students are also strongly encouraged to study, travel or live abroad. More than 50 semester- and year-long programs, January options and summer programs are available around the world. These programs are academically sound and provide strong support services and opportunities for students to immerse themselves in the culture of the country they visit. Students often choose to live with host families or in international residence halls on foreign campuses. St. Kate's Global Studies staff will help students learn about the many foreign study opportunities and pick the best option for their needs.
