Our diverse student community brings a range of perspectives and abilities to our language programs, and many students arrive on campus with unique experiences and exposure to Spanish. Our groundbreaking language program, designed to facilitate the transition into participating in academic and professional settings where Spanish is used, is specifically geared toward students who have a personal, familial or community connections to the language. Comprised of two courses taken in sequence, the heritage/bilingual speaker program helps students prepare for successful participation in culture and literature courses, research and internships.
