An ideal of a liberal arts education, the study of a 文化 through its language offers insights into unfamiliar worlds and increases sensitivity to and appreciation of other 文化s. Occidental’s 西班牙语 and 法国研究 department represents a community of scholars that gathers faculty and students working across a wide range of interests in the fields of literature, 文化, 和语言学. You’ll gain an analytical grasp of the diverse traditions and complexities of the 西班牙语- and French-speaking worlds, and a combination of coursework and co-curricular activities yield a multicultural, international perspective. The linguistics minor and the Arabic language and 文化 classes round out the intellectual and cultural scope of our department’s academic programs.
The rich cultural and 文学 expressions of Spain and Latin America are explored in a language-immersive classroom environment that builds strong conversational skills, and Oxy's strategic position in Southern California presents ample opportunities to use the 西班牙语 language. You can explore the Francophone world’s rich intellectual, 文学, cultural and political traditions through study of works from Africa, 加拿大, the Caribbean and Europe. You will be strongly encouraged to enhance your education through myriad options for 出国留学 and community-based learning programs.
Our graduates have the language skills and cultural knowledge necessary to continue their studies and pursue rewarding careers. Our graduates have gone on to careers as college professors, speech therapists, high-school teachers or administrators, museum administrators, 社会工作者, 律师, public health workers, 创造性的作家, and Fulbright scholars.
