The Spanish curriculum consists of a sequence of courses
designed to both train students to the nuances of Spanish
language and to expose them to the finest cultural
achievements of the Hispanic world. Language courses focus
on the crucial areas of grammar, vocabulary and composition
even as to introduce students to contemporary cultural
issues. Transitional courses introduce students to
sophisticated literary texts and products of contemporary
culture as a continuation towards linguistic mastery. A wide
range of upper-level seminars offer students unique
opportunities to gain knowledge in both the breadth and
depth of literature and culture in the Spanish-speaking
world.
Our students are as multidisciplinary as our faculty; many
take double majors in Spanish or French and another field.
Students graduating with majors in French or Spanish in
recent years have been accepted into some of the nation's
most prestigious graduate programs in those fields,
including such universities as Harvard, Yale, Cornell and
Brown.
Pomona's prog ram in Romance Languages is enhanced by a
state-of-the-art multimedia laboratory, the Foreign Language
Resource Center, with integrated
computer, audio, and visual components, including
interactive video disks and computer-assisted language
programs. Students can also improve their command of French
and Spanish by residing in the Oldenborg Center for Foreign
Languages and International Relations and participating in
the programs there, which include daily language tables at
lunch, frequent study breaks featuring cultural programming,
and a foreign language film series. Most students also spend
at least a semester at one of Pomona's Study Abroad
programs.
