New major mixes Spanish, service at UCLA

Spanish and community and culture has recently been approved as a new major in the UCLA Department of Spanish and Portuguese. It has been open to students since fall and incorporates a traditional Spanish education in the classroom with volunteer work in the Latino community.

A community partnership committee within the department has been developing the major over the past few years, but it wasn’t officially launched until this school year. It is interdisciplinary and has many of the same core requirements as the Spanish literature major. But what makes this major different from the other Spanish majors are two community service-based courses that place students in quarter-long internships that vary depending on an individual’s interests.”*
