Welcome to the Spanish program at Case Western Reserve University!
BIENVENIDO! The Spanish program offers a variety of courses to help students achieve proficiency in the language and culture while fulfilling the requirements for the major and minor. The program focuses on all four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Upper-level courses provide students with the opportunity to further enhance their linguistic and cultural proficiency through conversation, composition, translation, cinema, culture, and literature. Students are encouraged to participate in the study abroad courses offered in Spain or Latin America. This experience can help students gain translingual competence, which is the ability to successfully maneuver between languages and cultures. Translingual competence is a valuable skill in today’s globalized world. A Spanish major or minor can provide students with an excellent foundation for graduate school or careers in a variety of fields, including medicine, nursing, law, international business and finance, journalism, and foreign service.
