The University of Winnipeg

Knowing Spanish gives you a competitive edge in international business, trade and law, tourism, immigration, community development, journalism, translation and teaching. In the world today, there are more than 400 million Spanish language speakers, outnumbering any other language group except Mandarin. It is the second language in international communication, after English. There are also around 60 million speakers of Spanish as a second language and around 20 million students learning it as a foreign language. In Spanish Studies, you will learn the language, as well as gain the cultural awareness and understanding needed in today’s global community. Our program offers a variety of relevant, up-to-date courses. You will discuss current events, issues and trends in the contemporary Hispanic world, explore the social and political history of Latin America through its short stories, translate newspaper articles and other texts, learn about the customs and traditions of the Spanish speaking world, or read Don Quijote - the first modern novel of Western literature. This program leads to a Bachelor of Arts degree (3-year) with a Major in Spanish Studies.
