Spanish
The study of Spanish at Salem explores all aspects of the culture, such as language, art, literature, history, film, and autobiography.
A goal of any person seeking a liberal education is an understanding of the workings – phonemic, semantic, syntactic, stylistic – of language. Study of a modern language, for sake of contrast and comparison with one’s mother tongue, is highly desirable in producing such an understanding. In addition, study of a modern language is needed more than ever today for transcending cultural barriers. Study of modern languages and cultures promotes rapprochement among nations and peoples.
Spanish is one of the four languages offered by the department of modern languages. Foreign study forms a valuable part of education, and the department strongly encourages students to spend their junior year abroad. The department maintains a file of the many summer, semester, and year-long programs abroad in which our students can participate so that each one can choose the type of program and location which best suits her interests.

The reason I love the Modern Languages Department at Salem is because of the small student-to-faculty ratio and class sizes. I was able to receive more individualized attention with my professors, which is an essential when learning another language. I also gained close friends within my major at Salem. It was wonderful to be able to work together with my classmates and help one another in our understanding of Spanish language and culture. Participating in internships allowed me to gain experience in the workforce, learning through practical, real world experiences. Majoring in Spanish helped me personally and professionally because of the growing need for interpreters and translators in all job markets.
