Spanish and Latin American Studies, BA

 

Spanish Majors immerse themselves in the language, literature, and lives of Spain, Latin America, and the Latinx community.

Our multidisciplinary program is vibrant, flexible, challenging, and engaging. You will work toward linguistic proficiency in Spanish, honing your basic vocabulary and progressing toward sophisticated communication, verbal and written. In time, you’ll encounter Hispanic cultures through a plethora of film, history, politics, art, and music. In small, discussion-based classes, you’ll engage with writers and thinkers like Isabel Allende, Gabriel García Márquez, Miguel de Cervantes, and María Zambrano, to name a few.

At the culmination of your study, you will create an original project that draws on your learning experience. Throughout your journey, you’ll receive highly personalized instruction from our world-renowned faculty. We are here to equip you for whatever future you envision!

Testimonials

“The faculty at Saint Mary's definitely changed my life. There was a lot of support that I don't think I would have found in a larger college setting. They grew to know me and what I was capable of and I felt like there was a definite kinship that developed where however much effort I gave in my classes, my teachers were also supporting my goals.”
