School Location
There is no better time than the present to learn the Spanish language. Spanish is the primary language for nearly 330 million people in the world. Spanish is the official language in 21 countries, an official language of the United Nations and is used worldwide on the Internet. Learning Spanish allows you to communicate with a half-billion people throughout the world. The Spanish language plays a major role in the arts, architecture and world literature, and speaking it will allow you to learn more about its influence worldwide. As a Spanish major or minor at Agnes Scott, you will be trained to converse effectively and comfortably with native speakers in a program that focuses on language proficiency. In addition, you will increase your cultural awareness of the diversity of Hispanic peoples in the United States and abroad. In language courses, great care is taken to integrate technology in the classroom through the use of computerized language labs, in which courses are led by faculty with Ph.D.s, not graduate or teaching assistants as is often the case at larger institutions. Our program offers excellent preparation for advanced course work in Spanish.


What will I study?
Students will have the opportunity to explore many important aspects of the Spanish-speaking world. As a springboard for advance study in Spanish, our conversation course reviews basic grammar, in addition to sharpening students’ composition and reading skills, all necessary as students learn to engage in the discussion of topics relevant to the Hispanic world. Civilization and culture courses examine important historical events, and the political and social aspects that define a country or region. Students may choose among a variety of literature courses that focus on publications from Latin America, Spain or by Latino writers in the U.S. All students are encouraged to take Topics in Hispanic Themes, which is a detailed critical analysis of a specific topic, genre or period in Peninsular or Latin American literatures. In the past, students have enjoyed theme courses that explored the representations of women.
