Upper Division Program

In their upper division courses, students explore a wide range of topics to develop a broad understanding of Hispanic language, literature, and culture. With their adviser's assistance, students can tailor their major to fit their needs, and they often combine their Spanish major with another major in the humanities or social sciences.
