Paola Marin The language of a people is the most important component of its culture. We view culture in the broad, sociological sense of the word, not simply in the narrow sense of literature and the fine arts and attempt, at all levels, to develop in our students an understanding of as many aspects of the foreign culture and civilization as possible in conjunction with training in listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing. This emphasis on proficiency in the skills is carried into the Spanish and Spanish American literature courses, all of which are conducted in Spanish to insure that graduates will be well prepared whatever their career decision may be.
We strongly encourage majors and minors in Spanish to study abroad, and we support the goals of those who are interested in business, government, sociology, etc., where the need for individuals competent in Spanish is increasing constantly. We believe such students should study Spanish at least through 250 and then spend a semester abroad taking courses in the area of specialization. Spanish students are encouraged to participate in approved programs in Argentina, Chile, the Dominican Republic, and Spain (Madrid, Salamanca, Seville, Alcala de Henares, Alican and Toledo). | |
