Welcome to the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Miami University, where our primary concern is teaching and research in the areas of the Spanish and Portuguese languages, their cultures, and the several literatures written in those languages. We offer a strong selection of courses in both Spanish and Latin American literature, linguistics and culture at the undergraduate (BA) and graduate (MA) levels taught by dedicated teachers whose quality is sustained by continual intellectual and professional development. Our Portuguese offerings are growing, too, and for Fall, 2003, we have added Composition and Introduction to Literature.
We invite you to explore our site, read about our undergraduate major, minor and thematic sequences, Latin American Studies, the MA program, and visit the ILRC (Interactive Language Resource Center). Read about the competitive undergraduate scholarships we offer and the graduate assistantships for MA students. Please contact us if you have any questions; you can write Ken Adams who will be pleased to send you information or put you in touch with the person who can best answer any questions you might have.
