Hispanic Studies
The goal of the Hispanic Studies Department is to help students employ the methods of literary and cultural analysis to develop an informed understanding of Spain, Latin America, and Hispanic U.S., and to reach oral and written proficiency in the Spanish language.
The Senior Program
The Senior Program serves as an integrating, culminating experience in which Hispanic studies majors bring the knowledge, skills and research experience of the first three college years to an in-depth research project. Each student works closely with at least one faculty member during the project.
Recent projects include:
- La niña de 1:50 (a portfolio of work including a short story, poems, translations, and play scripts)
- Quien siembra vientos (a portfolio of work including a short story, poems, translations, and a video)
- Dos tipos (a portfolio of work including a short story, poems, translations, and play scripts)
