ObjectivesThe Department of Spanish offers classes in the Spanish language and Spanish and Spanish-American history, literature, film and civilization. Our language program is rich with offerings, with courses designed for beginning to advanced speakers. Special emphasis is directed toward conversational skills, and our students make significant progress. Our literature courses explore the important contributions of writers from Spain and the Americas. For the convenience of non-major students, some courses are conducted in English. The same may be said of our courses in civilization. Several focusing on the political history of Latin America are among the faculty's most popular offerings.
