Spanish ranks as the world's second most spoken language by native speakers and holds the same position in the United States, where its political, economic, and cultural impact continues to grow. Mastering Spanish and understanding Hispanic cultures has become essential for success in our increasingly multilingual 21st-century global landscape.
Hofstra University's Spanish BA program develops students' communication abilities while deepening their knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures, literature, history, linguistics, and politics - both worldwide and within the U.S. context.
The bachelor's program guides students from their initial proficiency level to advanced coursework, which can be paired with various complementary programs such as European Studies or Latin American and Caribbean Studies.
With guidance from faculty advisors, students can customize their academic journey. Our globally diverse faculty bring broad teaching and research expertise, reflected in the wide range of courses offered.
