Oberlin's Department of Hispanic Studies invites students to develop a broad and intimate understanding of the languages, literatures and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. Through a broad and diverse range of courses, cultural programming, and study abroad opportunities, our students gain a versatile skill set, including advanced linguistic proficiency in all areas of Spanish language; deep cultural competence in the rich and varied communities of Latin America, Spain and Latinx U.S.; and the theoretical and practical bases to do advanced literary and cultural analyses of literature, history, film, folklore, pop music, and other cultural forms. Our majors and minors go on to careers in every discipline, including journalism, law, higher education, advocacy and the arts.
