Welcome to the Spanish Program!
The Spanish program at the University of Tennessee develops Spanish language proficiency as it fosters critical thinking through literary, cinematic, and linguistic analysis. Students can earn a B.A. with a concentration in literature, Hispanic studies, or Language and World Business. In cooperation with the Center for International Education, Spanish faculty coordinate study abroad programs and internships in Mexico, Spain, and Ecuador.
A Spanish major can be an advantage in gaining employment in fields such as teaching, translation, journalism, international business or law, foreign service, and the travel industry.
At the graduate level, students can obtain an M.A. degree in Spanish or a Ph.D. in Modern Foreign Languages and Literatures with a major concentration in Spanish and a minor concentration in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, or Applied Linguistics. Both faculty and students have an outstanding record in research, teaching, and service to the community and excel in earning awards, fellowships, and grants for their many achievements.
