Spanish majors will be able to communicate effectively and converse fluently with native Spanish speakers. It is our goal to develop a life of growing appreciation for language and the language arts.

One of the Department’s pedagogically most dynamic programs is the Liberty University Summer Spanish Institute, where, in intensive summer programs conducted in Guatemala, students both teach English as a Foreign Language and study Spanish in linguistic and cultural immersion experiences.
