The University of La Verne provides Spanish as both a major and minor program. Students pursuing the major are expected to develop the linguistic skills and cultural understanding needed to interact effectively with native speakers. Since achieving fluency and gaining knowledge of French and Hispanic cultures are central to these programs, the university highly recommends spending a semester abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. La Verne's Study Abroad opportunities can help students gain this valuable experience.
Our program focuses on rigorous examination of global languages, linguistic structures, literary works, and cultural traditions, aiming to cultivate students' appreciation for worldwide cultural diversity while building language proficiency. This foundation equips learners for academic advancement, career opportunities, and personal growth as globally aware individuals. A Spanish degree opens doors to graduate programs and diverse professional paths such as international relations, commerce, media, education, and worldwide communications.
