Why study Hispanic Studies at Bishop’s?
"Because of the energy and passion of the teachers in showing us the different aspects of Hispanic culture and literature and in promoting its rich variety, I ended up absolutely fascinated and decided that I wanted more of this...
What you get from the program is not only a language, but also a totally new vision on life and values. Your understanding of the world will never be the same once you approach Hispanic Studies...at Bishop’s !!!"

Spanish has been taught at Bishop's since 1982. During these years, the curriculum has been constantly growing. All courses are taught in Spanish and fall into language, civilization and culture, linguistics, and literature. Third year courses on Spain and Spanish America alternate on a year-to-year rotation.

Allison GoffAfter graduating with a BA in Honours English Literature, Allison headed to Queen's University to pursue a Master's in English. Allison was awarded the Shauna Murray Memorial Prize in English from Bishop's University and a Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarship for a Master's Program. "Everyone says that your undergrad is the best four years of your life. It wasn't until I graduated that I realized how true that saying really is! I feel lucky to have gone to Bishop's. The school is small enough that you get to know your professors. It's nice to be a name or face they recognize, and not just a number: your professors show a genuine interest in your education and your future. The friends you meet in frosh week will become your closest confidants, seeing you through a year of Dewies, sleepless nights of cramming, finals, and in my case, a grueling 8-month honours thesis. Looking back at my four years, I smile and remember a purple haze of poutine, paper-writing, and people I consider my family. The community Bishop's offers can't be found anywhere else!"
