¡Welcome to the Department of Spanish and Portuguese!

Wescoe HallThe Department of Spanish and Portuguese offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate courses. While the major emphasis of the Department is literature, we also offer courses in Spanish language, linguistics, and culture, as well as Portuguese language, Brazilian literature and cultural studies. In Spring 2007, the Department received the Departmental Award for Exceptional Teaching and Learning from the Center for Teaching Excellence, University of Kansas. The Department recognizes the integral relationship between teaching and research, and all members of the faculty are both active scholars and dedicated teachers.

The Department's offices are located in 2650 Wescoe Hall on the southwest side of the building. We invite you to explore our web site and learn more about our faculty, our programs, and the various courses of study offered by the KU Department of Spanish and Portuguese.
