Spanish

Transylvania University’s Spanish language and literature degree will make sure you master Spanish grammar and conversation while immersing you in the culture and history of Spain and Latin America. Our location in Lexington, Kentucky, gives you plenty of opportunities to use the language in internships and community engagement.

The Spanish department is staffed with some of the kindest, most insightful, and wisest people I know. The professors are all willing to go the extra mile to make sure their students succeed.

Study and travel abroad strengthen students’ cultural understanding and language skills. Through an arrangement with other universities, Transy Spanish majors and non-major students can spend a term or a year in Spain or Mexico. May term, a one-month term during which Transylvania students take one course, also offers concentrated time for study abroad. Recent May term destinations include Spain, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.
