The B.A. in Spanish provides students with a better understanding of varied cultures and their cultural manifestations and a broader world perspective; studying Spanish is also important as it becomes the second language of the United States. This major emphasizes communication skills, language proficiency, and the study of language, literature, and culture as they pertain to Spain, Spanish America, and the U.S. Latino population. It prepares students for graduate or professional school programs such as law, or for work in government or with agencies and businesses having international ties. It provides students with a traditional liberal education.
Honors Requirements: Departmental honors will be granted to students according to the following process. Students who achieve a 3.30 GPA in upper division language courses at UMD will be invited by program faculty to submit a portfolio of excellent work done in the language for consideration by faculty in the program. The faculty then will decide if honors is to be awarded, based on that portfolio.
