In Bucknell’s Spanish program, you’ll learn more than a language. Learn the literature, culture and linguistics of Spanish, and amplify your skills by studying abroad through the close-knit Bucknell en España program or an approved program in a Spanish-speaking country. ¡Que bueno!
We encourage our students to think critically, to question their cultural assumptions about the Hispanic world, and to seek to immerse themselves, as much as possible, in a Spanish-speaking community.
"Someday, many of these students will be in positions of power. They need to understand and consider the perspectives of those who may be less privileged than themselves."
