Understanding Cultures
Our Spanish program develops student proficiency in reading, writing, listening, speaking and understanding the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures. The ultimate goal is to assist students in the appreciation of other foreign languages and of the cultures from the international community.
The Spanish program leads to the undergraduate degree in Spanish (for degree requirements) or, in combination with any other academic discipline, a double major in Spanish. The minor in Spanish is also available. We do not offer a master's degree program in Spanish; however, many of the upper-division courses are also offered for graduate credit. Students seeking graduate degrees in other disciplines at USD may choose to take these courses to complete their major area of graduate study.
Beyond the Classroom
Our program offers many opportunities for you to study abroad or get involved!
Study Abroad
We offer several opportunities each year for students to study abroad. See our Center for Academic Engagement site to see the upcoming opportunities that are scheduled. Past trips have been to places such as Peru and Spain.
A trip we organize annually is a study tour at the University of Vigo, Spain.
Sigma Delta Pi
USD is home to the Nu Omnicron chapter of the Sigma Delta Pi National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society.
Spanish Club
This student organization is a fun learning and social environment for students studying Spanish. Students will have the opportunity to learn about culture, language, and customs associated with the Spanish-speaking countries. For more information, contact Kristine Djerf at Kristine.Djerf@usd.edu.
