The program in Spanish and Portuguese offers the opportunity to do intellectual work in the Humanities in a foreign language. Students may graduate in one of the following major concentrations: (a) Hispanic Studies, (b) Romance Studies, (c) Modified Major in... Read more Hispanic Studies, and (d) Modified Major in Lusophone Studies, and minors in both Hispanic Studies and Lusophone Studies (Literature and Culture of the Portuguese speaking world). The areas of concentration developed in the Department focus on the languages, literatures, and cultures of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking world and the Hispanic and Lusophone communities in the United States. The curriculum encourages students to explore the cultural, social, political, and economic specificities of these regions. To that end, courses cover a variety of historical periods, regional traditions, modes of artistic expression, and forms of cultural critique. The major provides students with interpretive and writing skills that are key for careers in the arts and humanities, education, government, international relations, international business, law, and social service. It also directly prepares students to succeed in graduate school in such fields as Hispanic and Lusophone Studies, Cultural Studies, History, and Comparative Literature, among others. Major in Hispanic Studies: The major program in Hispanic Studies consists of at least 9 courses numbered 20 or higher. All courses for this Major are taught in Spanish. In special cases, students may substitute one upper level course offered in English in a related field toward this requirement. Approval for this option will be granted on a case-by-case basis, and only for a course taken after a student has completed Spanish 20. Students must submit a written petition to the Chair during the term preceding the English language course and the petition must be approved by the Department. This option is not available for Majors in Romance Studies or Modified Majors. Major in Romance Studies: Students wishing to pursue a major in Romance Studies must take courses in two of the Romance Languages offered at Dartmouth College (Spanish, Portuguese, French, or Italian), one serving as their primary language, the other as their secondary. This major option will consist of a minimum of ten courses beyond the prerequisites listed above for the Major in Hispanic Studies or Minor in Lusophone Studies. Six of these courses will be selected among the course offerings of the primary language and four from the secondary. Students will work closely with the Major Advisor in coordinating their course of study. Modified Major in Hispanic Studies: The modified major in Hispanic Studies consists of 10 courses, at least six of which must be in Spanish and the remaining four from appropriate major-level courses offered by other departments. Modified Major in Lusophone Studies: The modified major in Lusophone Studies consists of ten courses, at least six of which must be in Portuguese and the remaining four from appropriate major-level courses offered by other departments.Read less
