[edit] Strategic shift towards culture
In the Fall of 2003, the Department of Spanish changed its name to Hispanic Studies, following a recent trend across higher education institutions in the United States to incorporate culture (as in "texts") into the teaching of language skills and literature. The German Studies department was cited during the early internal discussions as thriving example of such fusion. (German Studies offers english language courses on the analysis of pop culture in Germany high a relatively high enrollment)

[edit] Mission Statement
The Department of Hispanic Studies at Macalester echoes the mission of the College to promote internationalism, multiculturalism, and service to society through teaching excellence, active scholarship, and civic engagement. Interdisciplinary by definition, we teach both Spanish and Portuguese, the languages of more than 500 million people worldwide, and offer specialized courses in literature, linguistics, U.S. Latina/o Studies, translation, and the visual arts. Our internationalism is two-fold: not only do our faculty and students come from different parts of the world, but we also expect faculty and students to participate in study abroad. Finally, we believe in serving the Twin Cities communities through service learning, participation in local cultural life, and internships, thereby educating our students both intellectually and civically to become the leaders of tomorrow.
