Spanish
A major in Spanish offers students an in-depth encounter with the rich and diverse realm of Spanish and Spanish American literature, culture, and linguistics through the Spanish language. Students can explore such topics as Hispanic language and society, Hispanic film studies, the novel and short story, theater, poetry, translation, and women in literature.
The department of Spanish and Portuguese actively participates in IUB Overseas Study programs and highly encourages their students doing minors and majors to travel abroad. IUB has many study abroad programs for the summer, semester, and academic year in various countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Peru, and Spain. With careful planning from the beginning, overseas study is compatible with any course of study.
If you have taken Spanish in high school or at another college or university, you should take the online placement exam before New Student Orientation. Please consult new student online testing information on the First Year Experience program website.
