Spanish - Franklin and Marshall College

Spanish from Franklin and Marshall College is a Campus Bachelor Language degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. A major in Spanish provides students a solid foundation in both oral and written Spanish at advanced levels. Further, our courses offer students the theoretical and critical tools to investigate different cultural traditions from Latin America and Spain. A major in Spanish is designed to give the student a thorough knowledge of its structure, literature and culture. We strive to help students achieve a high degree of proficiency in the language by developing their ability to comprehend, read critically, speak and write in Spanish while developing an appreciation of Hispanic literature and cultures. Beginning with the first course, class work is conducted largely in the target language and the student is encouraged to always use Spanish both in and outside of the classroom whenever possible. Majors can pursue independent studies on a topic in which they are especially interested. In order to register for an independent study, the student needs to have a specific research topic and s/he needs to submit a written proposal describing the topic and possible approach of inquiry s/he would like to follow. This proposal can be prepared after preliminary conversations with the professor who will eventually evaluate and supervise the project. We will not accept independent studies requested because of schedule conflicts or lack of interest in courses offered in a given semester. View more details on Franklin and Marshall College .
