Modern Languages and Cultures
Imagine not only studying a language, but also immersing yourself in the culture that speaks that language. At Albion, we do both.
Our department offers a major in Spanish. Through our courses, you’ll discover how people in other parts of the world think and express their ideas and beliefs, all while practicing your language of study. You’ll learn about the history, customs, and ways of life of different groups and people, and build your listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Then, you’ll take your learning beyond campus in one of our study away programs that offer immersion in Spanish culture and language.
You’ll become adept in the communication skills that are necessary in a Spanish-speaking workplace, learn the important lessons of history that are needed to understand contemporary issues, and address complex questions of identity that are at the heart of any language.
Beyond the Classroom
Fluency in more than one language and understanding other cultures are essential skills for living and working in our increasingly internationalized world. As a student of Spanish, you’ll learn through doing, immersing yourself in the language and culture you’re studying–on campus and abroad.
Study Away
As a student of modern languages and cultures, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and language you’re studying through off-campus programs in Argentina, Austria, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Senegal, and Spain.
