Students will develop critical thinking skills through an interdisciplinary approach, which may include: literature, history, visual and performing arts, and critical theory. Furthermore, the Spanish and Portuguese Department highly values study abroad and offers programs in Spain and Latin America to support our mission. 

The Spanish and Portuguese Department offers the Hispanic Studies major (newly revised in 2020) and the Romance Languages major (Spanish or Portuguese major with a second focus in Portuguese, French, or Italian) along with the Spanish minor and the Luso-Brazilian Studies thematic minor. There are numerous study abroad programs offered by the department.

The Spanish & Portuguese Department sponsors SOMOS, a student group that explores Latinx and Hispanic-related topics.
