Program Description

The Department of Modern Languages is committed, as ever, to providing a fresh and varied program of study, and offers stimulating courses centered upon such subjects as literature, film, business, poetry, law enforcement and social work, contemporary culture and cuisine, and other aspects of the diverse Hispanic world that we study through language.  Our students are actively involved on campus in the Spanish Club, tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, and Spanish immersion days, and off campus in service learning, civic engagement, internships, and other leadership opportunities with organizations serving the Latino community.

No course of study in modern languages is complete without the opportunity to study or spend time abroad. We encourage all Spanish majors and minors to explore the program that best fits their personal situations and career goals.  The university offers a variety of foreign study programs in Spanish-speaking countries:  Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Spain; these can differ in length of time (two- or three-week Ambassador Programs led by Wright State Spanish professors; four- to six-week-long summer programs; one and two semester programs) and some are subject specific. Prospective and current students can view available programs by looking at the University Center for International Education website and confer with faculty advisors. The members of the faculty take pride in their work as teachers and mentors, and look forward to each and every new incoming student!
