In the combined major in Spanish and linguistics, students integrate study of the Spanish language in particular with study of language systems more generally. Students hone their proficiency in the production and comprehension of the Spanish language and apply this knowledge to explore aspects of Hispanic culture, literature, and history. At the same time, students study the structures and analysis of human languages across multiple levels (sounds, words, phrases and sentences, meaning), as well as the position of language within communities of users. Students emerge with the transcultural skills and linguistic competence to communicate in and analyze one of the world’s major languages and with a deep understanding of how this system has flourished across space and time.
