We provide both 3-year General and 4-year degree options, allowing students to select either language-based or literature-focused coursework - the latter offering concentrations in either Latin American or Peninsular literature. Honours students can specialize solely in Spanish or pair it with another field, and may also pursue an Honours Major in Spanish through the Arts and Business co-op program.
