Welcome to Hispanic studies at Wheaton.

Hispanic Studies

Majors and minors in Hispanic studies usually go on to further studies or employment in a wide variety of areas. These include graduate studies, teaching, law, government, publishing and editing, interpreting, personnel work and a multitude of positions in international relations, business and banking.

Students interested in the Hispanic Studies program should discuss their plans with the department as early as possible in order to design an individualized program of study depending upon their personal preferences and career aspirations. Major requirements are intentionally broad and flexible to accommodate the diverse interests of students, while being sufficiently focused to assure development of appropriate knowledge and skills.

The department encourages students to develop a second major or minor in such areas as American studies, anthropology, art, computer science, economics, education, English, history, international relations, Latin American studies, legal studies, management, music, philosophy, political science, psychology, religion, sociology, theatre, women’s studies or a second language.
