Welcome to the
Department of Spanish and Portuguese in the School of Humanities at
the University of California, Irvine.
The Department offers programs of study leading to B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.
degrees in Spanish, Latin American and Chicano/Latino Literatures and
Cultures. The Department also offers undergraduate and graduate minors
in Portuguese.
While members of our faculty are recognized nationally and internationally
for their research, creative writing and contributions to the academic
profession, one of the Department’s highest priorities is to maintain
teaching excellence. Our goal is to provide students with a level-specific,
solid education in the diverse fields of study that we offer. Many of
our undergraduate and graduate courses reflect our faculty’s interest
in bringing together historical, critical-theoretical and interdisciplinary
perspectives in the study of literature and other cultural artifacts
such as film. At the graduate level, students are encouraged to take
courses in other university programs as, for example, Women's Studies,
the Critical Theory Emphasis, Comparative Literature, and Film Studies.
