Description
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese Studies is committed to four primary educational goals: (1) to provide students with in-depth knowledge of the literatures, languages and cultures of Latin America, the Hispanic Caribbean and the Iberian Peninsula, as well as Latina/o and Lusophone populations in the United States; (2) to provide rigorous liberal-arts training to all of our students, by honing critical thinking and writing skills; (3) to develop our students' academic proficiency in Spanish and Portuguese, a particular need for our many students who are heritage speakers of these languages; (4) to provide students with training in preparation for careers as teachers, professors, or a myriad of other professional roles which require superior proficiency in Portuguese and Spanish. In each of these areas, the faculty of the Department is committed to providing students with a high level of mentorship and support.
