 Return to: College of Arts and Sciences
The general purpose of the major program is to educate students to think and perceive rationally and critically. This will include reading and thinking, learning about literary and cultural movements and making connections between the primarily aesthetic literary artifacts of the culture and its political, social and economic history.
Through the new Emerson Foreign Language Laboratory, students are trained to use new learning and technology media at all language levels to allow them to communicate effectively in the world. Likewise, they are encouraged to prepare themselves philosophically and practically to make linkages between the major and other academic disciplines.
The student majoring in Spanish will learn about the world of ideas and letters, past and present. This training requires at least one study abroad semester; one year is recommended. The cohesive, integrated program of foreign language, culture and literature courses ensures maximum proficiency in the target language.
