Undergraduate Programs

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese offers a B.A. degree in Spanish, with an opportunity to emphasize Spanish language and linguistics, Spanish and Spanish American literatures. The department does not offer a major in Portuguese, but has a unique program of intensive instruction in Portuguese through which LAS undergraduate students can meet their foreign language requirement.

The department has a Basic Spanish Program in which students can enroll to satisfy the LAS language requirement. The program enables students to acquire the comprehension, conversation, reading and writing skills they need to meet their language requirement.

Students are encouraged to combine a Spanish major with a major or minor in another discipline in LAS or other colleges and schools. The department also offers a Spanish minor. The faculty undergraduate advisors are available in the department to provide information and assistance in considering these various possibilities.

Graduate Programs

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese offers a Master of Arts in Spanish and a Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish under the jurisdiction of the Graduate School.
