About the Major

SUNY Oneonta’s Spanish majors have access to a variety of courses that explore the diverse literary and cultural traditions of Spanish expressions throughout the world.

Curriculum

The SUNY Oneonta Spanish program offers a variety of courses in language, culture, civilization and literature, a wide range of overseas programs and a committed and engaging faculty.

In upper-division classes, you’ll develop analytical and writing skills, along with oral proficiency through intensive critical study of literary texts, cinema, literature culture and history. The curriculum includes exploration of all periods and genres of Hispanic literature, as well as a wide variety of critical approaches.

Numerous courses in the Department of World Languages and Literatures participate in Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) projects, an innovative way of connecting our students with other college students in far-flung countries.

Students who want to become middle or high school teachers can major in Spanish and Adolescence Education.

Student Clubs

The Hispanic Organization for Learning Advancement (HOLA) organizes activities, events and trips throughout the year.
