Major and Minor in Spanish and Latin American Cultures
Majors and minors in this department will provide
students with a solid literacy in the cultures of the Hispanic world. Literacy
at the level of language instruction entails the students' ability to express
themselves fluently in Spanish, both orally and in writing. Literacy at the
cultural level entails an intellectual grasp of Spanish and Spanish-American
cultural and artistic products and the knowledge of the historical and
methodological contexts in which to situate them. Students must consult with the
major advisor to carefully plan their program upon major declaration. With
advisor approval, courses taken abroad or at another institution can apply
toward the major/minor. The Department of Spanish and Latin American Cultures
addresses the Barnard senior research requirement through the writing of a
substantial paper in a topic-based senior seminar; there is the possibility of
further research development for some students. The Spanish and Latin American
Cultures majors have been designed in conjunction with the Columbia Department
of Spanish and Portuguese. Hence, Barnard students may, always in consultation
with the major advisor, move freely between the departments of both
institutions in search of the courses that best fit their interests and
schedules.
