Bachelor [Spanish] From Swarthmore College

With the goal of enabling students to communicate fluently in Spanish, we base our curriculum upon a linguistic and pedagogical continuum beginning at the elementary language level and culminating in the most advanced courses and Honors seminars.

One of the strengths of the Spanish Program lies in its scope, which is both geographical and chronological, offering courses on literatures of the 19th-, 20th- and 21st-centuries as well as that of Early Modern Spain and Colonial Latin America.

Given their interdisciplinary nature, our introductory and upper level courses are compatible with course studies in black studies, comparative literature, interpretation theory, gender and sexuality studies, and Latin American studies, among others.

The Spanish Program offers a course major and minor, honors major and minor, and a special major in Spanish and educational studies. Special majors of the student?s own design will also be considered; for instance, Spanish and sociology/anthropology; Spanish within comparative literature; Spanish and linguistics, and more.
