Overview

We offer an interdisciplinary Hispanic Studies major at Connecticut College focusing on Latin American studies. Your learning is integrated with outreach, with a particular focus on the life of Hispanic communities locally and abroad. You take field trips to schools, an immigration law firm, a hospital, a prison, social services agencies and the superior court. You also have an opportunity to volunteer locally through a program called Proyecto Comunidad.

International opportunities and study abroad

You can go abroad through the College's own Study Away Teach Away (SATA) program or through study-abroad programs offered by other universities. Some Hispanic studies and Latin American studies courses take short trips at the College's expense to Spain, Peru or the U.S.-Mexico border. On campus, you can practice your conversational Spanish with friends at the Knowlton international dining hall. Knowlton Language House is a popular housing option for students who want to immerse themselves in another culture.

Personalized learning

Hispanic studies will open doors to a range of opportunities that require critical analysis and problem-solving skills. World languages and cultures are a major part of the new Connections program, and you can choose an Integrative Pathway that enhances your major with a series of interconnected classes designed to help you think about a problem from multiple perspectives. Your academic experience will give you a competitive edge for a career in education, business, government, social work, health care, law, media, travel or many other fields.
