Welcome
Welcome from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese faculty, staff, and students.
We invite you to read our Value Statement!
If you came to Georgetown hoping to leave campus more attuned to the globalized currents of the present, past, and future, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese is a place for you.
Global Languages
Spanish and Portuguese are indispensable languages of the Americas, Europe, and the world. Catalan’s reach is less extensive than Spanish and Portuguese but is a critical language for understanding Spanish and European history. Join our exciting community of students, staff, and faculty as we explore the literary, linguistic, and artistic diversity of people on every continent.
