The formal study of Spanish, French, and Italian consists of courses in language at the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels, as well as courses in the literature and culture of the countries where these languages are spoken. Teacher education forms an integral part of the department’s offerings in Spanish and French. The study of Spanish, French, and Italian prepares the student for advanced and graduate study in literature and/or linguistics, for use in business, industry, social services, and health-related fields.

The department also offers its majors the opportunity to take Portuguese for speakers of Spanish that allows the Spanish major to reach an acceptable degree of proficiency in the second most important Peninsular and Latin American language.

The curriculum in Spanish-Economics gives students a strong grounding in the analytical tools of economics, an understanding of how the national and global economies operate, and both written and oral fluency in the Spanish language, with particular emphasis on the integration of the two disciplines.

The Department of Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts with majors in Spanish, French, and Italian, as well as the Bachelor of Arts in the Teaching of Spanish and Teaching of French. Minors are also offered in Spanish, French, Italian, and the Teaching of Spanish and Teaching of French.
