The Spanish and Hispanic studies program at Earlham teaches you to analyze the cultural production of the Spanish-speaking world and navigate the diverse perspectives of Spanish speakers in the US and abroad. While most programs teach you to communicate in Spanish, we will teach you to think in Spanish!
Regardless of your initial level of Spanish, we will help you develop cultural and linguistic competence in the language through semester-long immersion programs, research experiences, and interactions with the Spanish-speaking community here in Richmond.
Earlham’s Department of Spanish and Hispanic Studies believes that education should be experiential, socially responsive and responsible. Through collaborative student-faculty research, internships, off-campus study and other extracurricular opportunities, you will gain abroad and deep understanding of Hispanic culture and society.
