Spanish Major
The curriculum of the department of languages is designed to introduce all Drury students to selected languages of the world and their cultural and literary traditions. Language majors are prepared for graduate studies and also for careers in a variety of fields including teaching, international business and foreign service. We offer majors and minors in French and Spanish.
Note: We will still support the old curriculum, but might need to substitute newer courses for the old ones. It is almost important to understand that if you choose to change curriculum you will adopt the entire course catalog for the 2013-2014 academic year. This will include the CORE curriculum as well as changes that might be made to other majors and minors.
