Department of Languages and Cultures at Loyola University New Orleans

Spanish

The Bachelor of Arts in Languages and Cultures with a concentration in Spanish requires a balance of language, literature, culture, and film classes.   Our goal is for our students to understand many facets of Spanish cultures and languages.

The language classes will be substituted for other department electives in the case of fluent Spanish speakers or students who come in with a high level of Spanish.
