We invite you to read our Value Statement!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.
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.
Undergraduate Programs Graduate ProgramsTake a class, consider a major, drop in the office hours of one of our world-renowned professors, or perhaps just stop by a conversation hour and munch on a cookie while you’re at it…pick up a new language, improve an old one, learn why your own words take the forms and sequences that they do…take your next steps in new places knowing that the paths you made here have created a map you can rely upon in the future.
