Bachelor of Arts in Spanish

A degree in Spanish provides IU South Bend students with the tools to become a true international citizen in a multi-cultural, multi-lingual global community. The Spanish Program promotes proficiency in the Spanish language, knowledge of Spanish and Latin American cultures and literatures, and the students' active engagement in cultural and linguistic exchanges.


Academic Advising

Advising holds are placed on all CLAS students prior to advance registration and are released following advising appointments. Students with a declared major are advised in their academic units. To determine who your advisor is and how to contact them, see One.IU.
