 Honours, Major, and Minor programs in Hispanic Studies

An Honours degree will find you in an in-depth study and research of a specific topic of your choice and completed under the supervision of a faculty member. A Major will allow you to increase your Spanish language fluency and confidence, while deepening your knowledge of Hispanic literatures and cultures. A General and Minor degree provides a general education in Hispanic Studies. A Certificate in Spanish Language and Cultural Proficiency is an option for students in another degree progam.

Students are advised to consult with our undergraduate advisor regarding their course planning.
