Overview

Sometimes when opportunity calls, it speaks another language. And Spanish is not a “foreign” language any more. When you meet someone, knowing another language gives you an additional opportunity to connect. The goal at the heart of our program is to appreciate other languages, literatures, and cultures. Our university’s namesake was born in Spain—St. Ignatius Loyola, or “Iggy” as our students affectionately call him.

Overview of Courses

The curriculum of the Spanish programe from Loyola University New Orleans combines Spanish language courses with a selection of Spanish electives in culture, literature, and film and finishes with a Spanish capstone. Here’s a sample of what you can expect to learn and do:
