Spanish

In the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences, students can take courses in Arabic, Chinese, French, and Spanish. Minors are available as well. Students who study languages often spend a summer, a semester or even a year, earning credits studying abroad in places like China, France, Spain, and Mexico.

Students who study language can:

Explore other cultures and how they communicate.
Expand your language knowledge in a linguistically diverse environment.
Experience literature from a variety of perspective.
Examine languages from different theoretical frameworks.
Become immersed in a multicultural and multilingual environment.

How will I focus my studies?

Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language internationally. It is spoken in Spain, parts of Africa, North, Central and most of South America and in much of the United States and the Philippines. Over the past three decades, the Hispanic population has increased tremendously in the United States and as a result, the United States, economically and culturally, is becoming more closely integrated with the Spanish-speaking world. Learning Spanish can help to open doors in your future career. Spanish will also prepare you for living in an increasingly global society.
