We believe the greatest strength of our department is the faculty. Without exception, they are active and accomplished researchers, as well as dedicated teachers. They understand that they are involved in a team effort to promote academic excellence and they are energized by that goal and by each other. The greatest challenge facing the department will be to keep ahead of the demands of an ever-increasing number of undergraduate and graduate students. We are committed to meeting that challenge and to providing the very best instruction and research opportunities to WMU students at all levels.
The mission of the Department of Spanish is to provide programs and academic enrichment opportunities of the highest quality possible to undergraduate and graduate students to deepen and extend their knowledge of cultural, linguistic and literary expressions in the Hispanic world.
