Overview

The major emphasizes the history and cultural diversity of a world whose geographic reach is vast and whose legacy extends from the pre-colonial period in Latin America and European classical antiquity to the present. This interdisciplinary program focuses on literary and other modes of representation (such as film, performance, and the visual arts), while offering students opportunities to tailor their course of study to their broad intellectual interests. Study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country is highly encouraged and can count towards the major.

Students who major in Hispanic Literatures and Cultures develop an open-minded, inquisitive mindset and a global perspective. While improving their ability to communicate in Spanish, they acquire a deeper understanding of the vibrant and diverse cultures of the Hispanophone world, including its histories, politics, artistic and philosophical traditions. They also gain the language proficiency, communication and critical skills, and intercultural competencies to live, study, and work in a Spanish-speaking environment, in the United States or abroad.

Hispanic Literatures and Cultures prepares students to pursue their academic and professional interests in fields such as education, law, politics, international relations, social work, the arts, business and the medical professions, among others.

Student Learning Goals

Students who complete the major in Hispanic literatures and cultures have the knowledge and skills needed to successfully pursue their academic and professional interests:

the language proficiency to live, study, and work in a Spanish-speaking environment, in the United States or abroad;

strong communicative skills, in both Spanish and their native language;

the capacity to understand diverse points of view;

the ability to draw on a wide range of sources to stimulate their own creative and critical capacities; and

a sense of the rich diversity and creative power of Hispanophone literary texts and films spanning ten centuries (five of them in Latin America) and five continents.
