Spanish major
The Spanish major at Anderson University offers students a triple focus in language, culture, and literature. After successful completion of the program, majors will be equipped to do the following:
- Comprehend and interpret the written and spoken language.
- Express themselves in the written and spoken word of that language.
- Have a fundamental understanding of the literature and civilizations of the countries represented by the target language.
- Value other cultures as fellow global citizens.
- Develop skills to function successfully in cross-cultural environments.
Program Overview
4-Year Major
-
The major is offered as a three-year or four-year track for graduation.
-
A complementary major in Spanish gives students the strength and exposure of a full major, but without the requirement of additional study in a third language. It also requires completion of a study abroad experience. Many students in pre-med, nursing, business, global business, computer science, ministry, and other majors complete this complementary major, as well. This gives our students additional marketability after graduation.
-
The Spanish minor requires students to take 18 hours of Spanish courses beyond the Elementary Spanish level, including Spanish Composition, and Spanish Conversation.
