Bachelor of Arts in Hispanic Studies
At Brandeis, Hispanic Studies is not only about becoming a highly proficient Spanish speaker, reader, and writer. It is about examining and appreciating the cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world across continents and through time. You will learn through language lessons as well as through the study of film, art, politics, and place.

“I feel super comfortable on campus. I love it. That's one thing I tell my family: 'I'm me over here!' You can be who you are on this campus and who you want to be. I always say, '#nojudgment.'”
