Overview

The Spanish program from Haverford College coupled with an expansive curriculum covering literature, film and media, social history, the history of ideas, sociolinguistics, politics and popular culture, and fiction-writing situate students deep within the Spanish world and equip them to thrive in a global culture in which Spanish is playing an increasingly vital role.

Key Facts

Students are given a thorough knowledge of the Spanish language and the ability to understand and interpret Spanish and Spanish American texts and cultures. To accomplish this goal, elementary and intermediate language courses are offered; courses in literature, film, culture and civilization, and linguistics; advanced courses that explore a specific line of inquiry, literary or cultural issue, or theme; and courses taught in English which aim to bring a wider audience to important themes, issues, and accomplishments of the Spanish-speaking world.

All majors produce a thesis over the course of their senior year. Working closely with a faculty advisor and through our two-semester Senior Departmental Studies Seminar, they develop, research, and write a piece of independent research. In addition to taking each student through the process of developing their own essay, the seminar is designed to foster collaboration and to hone general research, reading, and critical skills.

Programme Structure

Major Requirements:

Six courses in Spanish and Spanish American literature or film, and
Two semesters of SPAN H490 (Senior Seminar), in which students write a senior essay.Of the six required courses, three should be at the 200 level and three at the 300 level.
