Studying Spanish isn’t simply about learning another language.
With 37 million Spanish speakers in the U.S., and nearly 500 million globally, it’s about learning the third most widely spoken language in the world. At Emmanuel College, you will open the door to new cultural and career opportunities. Immerse yourself in the language, art, literature and culture of Latin America and Spain, and of Latino communities in Boston and across the country.
Along with areas of knowledge and major requirements, you will cultivate essential values in the classroom and complete two courses in each area:
- Social Justice (SJ): Develop knowledge, skills, values and motivation to participate beneficially in activities of personal and public concern.
- Diversity & Multiculturalism (DM): Understand the complexity of identity the historical truths of different cultural perspectives to address bias and examine contemporary social issues.
One hundred percent of Emmanuel students complete an internship as part of the core curriculum. In a city as dynamic as Boston, your options are bound only by the limits of your curiosity.
A diverse city, Boston is home to a large Spanish-speaking community, and the need for bilingual interns in healthcare, nonprofit, education and other sectors are in demand.
In all majors, the Capstone Experience involves completing a significant piece of work that requires the integration and application of learning from multiple courses.
The culminating experience for Spanish majors is the Senior Seminar course (LANG4999), which you will complete in the spring semester of your final year of study. In this course, you will research a chosen topic in-depth, make regular peer-reviewed oral presentations of progress, and give a final oral presentation of your research paper to peers and Modern Language faculty.
