Hispanic Studies at Brandeis focuses on the Spanish language, and much more. Students improve their Spanish-language skills in the courses they take. But language is also the matter of politics, advertising, media, and social communication. Students, therefore, engage in the analysis of cultural artifacts and artistic movements as they learn more about language and their own place in the world. Study abroad for a semester or a year may play an important part in students’ academic careers and personal growth. Majors and minors in Hispanic Studies are prepared to pursue careers in a wide range of fields where effective communication and intercultural critical thinking are essential, including those in which they will have direct contact with Spanish speakers and/or Hispanic cultures, both in this country and globally. Learning Goals Professionals who have expertise in more than one language are consistently preferred over those who do not in jobs that involve international assignments. These same language skills play an important role in gaining admission to graduate, law, or medical school. Professionals in education and social work, as well as the medical fields, are often expected to know a language other than English. Spanish is particularly helpful in this context as the Hispanic community is one of the largest ethnic groups in the contemporary United States. Coursework in Hispanic Studies involves the study of literature and film, art and politics, cultures and places from Spain to Latin America and the United States, from the remote past to today.
