Our Spanish language and literature majors explore the rich diversity of Spanish cultures, develop written and oral skills in the Spanish language, increase their understanding of the art and history of Spain and Latin America and encounter the major literary works in Spanish.

Studying the day-to-day communications of Spanish-speaking people in the U.S. and abroad has major cultural benefits, as well as a unique value in the workplace.

Facility in Spanish and awareness of aspects of Hispanic cultures are valuable assets in many important careers. Our Spanish majors are prepared for careers in:

• International business
• Journalism and mass communications
• Health care
• Government
• Education
• Criminal justice
• Law
• Many others

The program also draws on the resources of other departments of the College of Arts and Sciences -- such as anthropology, history and political science – as well as Quinnipiac’s schools of Business, Communications and Health Sciences to introduce multicultural issues in American life.

Double majors are encouraged.
