Department of Spanish & Portuguese
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is dedicated to the study of the Spanish
and Portuguese languages, literatures and cultures, from introductory language
skills courses to specialized graduate seminars. Our courses focus on the many
different facets of literary, cultural, and linguistic expression found throughout
the history of the Hispanic civilizations and their contact with other cultures.
Twenty-eight distinguished faculty members guide the undergraduate students who
have chosen Spanish or Portuguese as their major or minor in understanding the
issues involved in approaching another culture through the language of that culture.
All students will experience this alternative world first-hand. Over one hundred
graduate students, teaching associates, instructors, faculty, experienced
professionals and office staff proudly invite you to explore our varied offerings
and take advantage of the rich resources at your disposal.
