The Spanish section of the Department of German & Romance Languages and Literatures offers a wide range of courses in the language and literatures of Spain and Latin America. Students can enroll in courses from Spanish Elements through Curso de Perfeccionamiento, with many in-between. We offer technical courses such as Business, Medical, and Legal Spanish as well as Spanish Translation for the Professions. We also support Internship opportunities, giving students credit for work done outside of the University. As students progress in our program, they can choose from several courses in Spanish and Latin American culture. We typically offer a course on Spanish drama or cinema, and courses on different regions and cultures of Latin America. Our literature classes encompass pre-colonial and colonial Latin American literature through contemporary Latin American literature. We also offer courses on Renaissance, Baroque, and modern Peninsular literature. We encourage all of our students to study abroad during their course of study. Undergraduate students must obtain approval for their program abroad prior to departing Baltimore. Graduate students should work closely with their advisor to determine the best plan for their research abroad. The faculty of the Spanish section work closely with undergraduate and graduate students and even serve as their faculty advisors.
