\The Spanish programme of Rutgers University encompasses elementary, intermediate and advanced language courses. Its purpose is to develop student skills in communication across ethnic, ideological and national boundaries, as well as, help students acquire a deeper understanding of other cultures.

Learning Goals

Majors in all areas will be able to demonstrate proficiency in interpretive, interpersonal and presentational modes of communication and basic knowledge of Linguistics, Cultural Studies or Translation as disciplines. The top 75% of Spanish or Portuguese majors will be able to carry out conversations in which they can describe, compare, contrast, in all tenses (present, past and future), with an appropriate breadth of vocabulary and register, and to be understood by a non-sympathetic listener; and to read and write documents written in academic, formal and/or literary registers of language.

Majors will be able to conduct research projects according to the methodologies of the humanities, social or cognitive sciences and demonstrate intercultural awareness and understanding of the Hispanic or Luso-Brazilian world. Honors students (top 15%) will be able to complete independent research, write a thesis, and defend it before a faculty committee.
