Spanish and Hispanic Studies
The Hispanic Studies program at ECU provides students the opportunity to engage with the languages and cultures of the Spanish-speaking world and to learn about and participate in a community with over 400 million speakers around the globe. Students enrolled in our program develop their language skills for sustained, effective, and cohesive communication in Spanish; gain interdisciplinary understanding of Spanish-speaking cultures and their histories; learn to interpret critically the texts and objects produced in or about those cultures; and collaborate with community partners to improve the lives of Latinos in Eastern North Carolina and beyond. Our Educator Preparation program also equips students with adequate linguistic proficiency, cultural sensitivity, and pedagogical knowledge to effectively teach in the K-12 classroom.
