Mission and Goals:

The Department of Spanish Studies supports the missions of the university and the School of Arts and Letters offering academic excellence through the study of language, literature, and culture, and prepares the students to become proficient linguistically and culturally in a multicultural, multiethnic, and multilingual society and be able to communicate successfully. The Department will apply the National Standards for Foreign Language in the four basic skills of language learning: listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Departmental Awards Each year, the outstanding students in elementary and intermediate language courses are recognized in the all-university awards ceremony. At the same ceremony, the Gertrude Looney scholarship is awarded to the outstanding junior language student, and the Elizabeth Myatt award is presented to the outstanding senior language student.

Sigma Delta Pi is a national Spanish Honor Society, with a chapter at McMurry, that distinguishes students who have completed 18 hours in Spanish (or have the equivalent proficiency), have a 3.00 average in Spanish, a 2.75 average overall, and who have completed at least one advanced course in Spanish literature or civilization.
