Spoken by some 500 million people around the world, Spanish is the main tongue of most of Latin America and Spain as well as the unofficial second language of California and the United States. By learning Spanish, you will increase your ability to understand the world and gain direct access to such cultural products as the writings of Cervantes, Sor Juana and Borges; the films of Pedro Almod\u00f3var and Lucrecia Martel; the work of important critical theorists; and world-class music and gastronomy.<\/p>\n

The Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures is the place to start or develop your Spanish skills. Our language program is the largest on campus, and we also teach multiple courses in literature, cinema, critical theory and food studies, plus courses aimed at the practical uses of Spanish in the health professions, business and law.<\/p>\n

Our students take Maymester and summer courses in Mexico City and Oaxaca,\u00a0Mexico; Havana,Cuba; Cusco, Peru; and Madrid and Santander, Spain. For longer stays, the USC Madrid Center welcomes students in the spring term, and you can also enroll in other programs in Argentina, Chile and Mexico. For all these reasons, Spanish may easily become a pleasurable and useful lifelong pursuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
