Programs
Hispanic Studies
The Hispanic Studies program offers three semesters of language for the Global Language Proficiency common curriculum requirement (Spanish 111, 112, and 211). The common curriculum focuses on learning Spanish as well as understanding Hispanic cultures. For this reason, all language classes give ample attention to the diversity of Spanish, Latin-American, and Latino cultures.
Why Study Hispanic Studies at CSB & SJU?
The Department of Hispanic Studies integrates Spanish-language reading, writing, and speaking skills into your liberal arts education through a variety of courses in the cultures, linguistics, and literatures of the Spanish-speaking world.
The Hispanic Studies major and minor programs are strongly interdisciplinary and are often completed by students also majoring in other fields. In addition to cross-disciplinary courses on campus, we offer several opportunities to study abroad. The College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University has semester-long programs in Sevilla, Spain (spring semester) and Buenos Aires, Argentina (fall semester), as well as an embedded study abroad program in Chiapas, Mexico (spring semester).
