Students further develop their understanding of Spanish and Latin American cultures through optional units which explore popular culture and music, Spanish and Latin American literature and film studies, national and cultural identities, discourse analysis, cultural theory, cross-cultural and inter-cultural communication, and translations studies. The Spanish and Latin American studies program also offers study abroad opportunities for students of all levels.
