Bachelor of Arts - Spanish

As a Spanish major at University of Northern Iowa, learners will explore different areas of study, including Spanish grammar and vocabulary, Spanish-speaking cultures and civilizations, literature and film in Spanish, Spanish linguistics, Spanish/English translation and Spanish for Heritage Speakers.

All courses are taught exclusively in Spanish and offer ample opportunities to improve in all four language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing).

The University's faculty come from very diverse backgrounds, allowing students to hear a variety of Spanish dialects and explore a breadth of intellectual possibilities. With small class size, they receive one-on-one attention from faculty members, resulting in numerous opportunities for undergraduate research, including honors theses and presentations at conferences.

Outside of the classroom, the students engage in a variety of community service projects, working with local business and community and government agencies, providing language assistance for immigrants and refugees, participating in simulations, as well as doing professional-level translation services.
