Many of our students pursue Honours or Majors in Spanish, while others combine it with other disciplines through double honours. We offer both 3-year General and 4-year degree options, with flexibility to select language-based or literature-focused courses—the latter allowing specialization in either Latin American or Peninsular literature. The Honours program permits Spanish as a standalone discipline or paired with another field, including through the Arts and Business co-op stream.
