Hispanic Studies

Our approach to Hispanic Studies transcends the traditional course of Spanish studies that are limited to only literature and language. Our faculty believe that it is through the study of diverse forms of cultural production (film, art, popular culture, journalism) that students become fluent and learn about significant political and historical events, complex sociocultural issues, and community engagement. All Hispanic Studies concentrators complete a mentored field research experience in Hispanic culture that is linked to the curriculum. This practicum may be tied to servicelearning, study abroad, an internship, and is always scholarly in nature.
