Brock University

The Hispanic and Latin American Studies program aims to provide students with a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of Iberian (Spanish and Portuguese) and Latin American cultures. Students in the program acquire excellent linguistic competence and a thorough understanding of these literatures, languages and cultures within the dynamics of a trans-border and interdisciplinary approach. The HLAS program offers an array of courses which exposes students to a broader disciplinary background, and gives them opportunities for cross-disciplinary studies. Students enrolled in the HLAS program mainly work toward dual degrees with majors or minors in other languages and linguistics and/or combined with a variety of fields, as well as a concentration in Romance Linguistics, as well as a concentration in Spanish and Comparative Studies in Romance Literatures and Cultures. The program equips students with the analytical and experiential skills necessary to pursue graduate research as well as meet the demands of a professional career. Our courses integrate lectures with online modules, small group tutorials and opportunities to apply concepts to real-life situations via internships and community outreach.
