Spanish and Latin American Studies
If your focus lies in Latin America, the Spanish and Latin American Studies Minor would complement your Major plan. The SLAS Minor Plan provides students an interdisciplinary element which is not strictly limited to literature, film and culture. This Plan involves two years of language study in addition to option courses from within the Department and/or other academic units across campus. Option courses include advanced language, literature, culture, art, economics, film, gender studies, geography, global development, history, political studies and sociology.
Languages, Literatures and Cultures
The world can seem like a big place, but through the LLCU major, students will get a glimpse into how small and
connected it really is and be able to engage with intercultural sensitivity and a palette of relevant skills. Through
this program, students can learn a minimum of two languages from over 14 languages taught at Queen’s,
understanding not only their linguistic structures but the cultures in which they are formed. Learning another
language provides students with the ability to step inside the mind and context of that culture and to better
understand their own.
World Language Studies
The planet is becoming ever smaller and globalization is affecting how people live and work. As such, knowledge of multiple languages is a tremendous asset, paving the way for an international career, providing valuable insight into cultural difference, and preparing students for a global future.
