Resources
The Department of Spanish and Portuguese is committed to providing resources to assist students beyond the classroom. Help is available for both language and literature students in the form of tutoring, which focus on the practice of grammar and pronunciation, as well as a Writing Center that allows students to revise their essays for upper-level Spanish courses. Additionally, students have the opportunity to enrich their language experience with cultural events like the Spanish Film Series. Students are strongly encouraged to take advantage of any and all resources offered by the department.
