Second Year Spanish II introduces students to the heritage of the Spanish-speaking world within the context of the Western tradition emphasized in the Core Curriculum. The survey includes literature, history, art history and music. This interdisciplinary course is the point of departure for advanced study in literature, history, art history and linguistics.
