Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Spanish] From Ohio University

Spanish majors learn to think analytically and critically in courses on literature, culture, linguistics, film, and art, and they acquire clarity of thought and expression through frequent writing assignments and speaking activities. Students enhance their technological skills in our Language Resource Center’s audio, video, and computer labs. Spanish majors are required to study abroad.

Most students participate in one of the Ohio University sponsored programs in Spain, Mexico, and Ecuador, where they polish their language skills and develop first-hand familiarity with the culture of an Hispanic country. The Spanish faculty is committed to student advising, and to guiding students through the options of double majors, complementary certificate programs, and elective courses. We limit our class sizes so professors can address the needs of individual learners and encourage dialogue, collaboration, openness, and critical thinking. To complement course work, the Spanish Club and the Spanish National Honor Society sponsors events such as weekly conversation meetings and foreign film series. The Spanish major challenges undergraduate students in a supportive environment where they can thrive and prepare themselves for a successful future.
