Spanish Major Overview
Spanish Section Coordinator, Christine Goring Kepner
The Spanish major exists to help students
• develop awareness of the forms and functions of
the Spanish language in general
• enhance proficiency in understanding native speech
and writing
• communicate effectively and creatively in both oral
and graphic modes.
Spanish majors will increase their understanding and appreciation
of and empathy for the peoples of Hispanic cultures
• through exposure to representative works of the
various literary genres and related art forms of Spain
and the Americas
• through study of the regions' historical, philosophical,
religious and artistic development
• through awareness of issues and lifestyles of contemporary
Hispanic societies
• through personal interaction with native speakers
of Spanish in the United States as well as in other countries
where Spanish is spoken.
Students will complete the Spanish major
• with enhanced awareness of their own linguistic,
cultural and religious heritage
• empowered to relate with respect and consideration
to persons from diverse backgrounds
• as enlightened citizens of the world and worthy
representatives of the kingdom of Jesus Christ.
