Welcome to the homepage of the Spanish for Heritage Learners Program!

I am glad you have found our webpage and I hope that you find all the information you need. The Spanish for Heritage Learners Program at this university has a long and distinguished history. We are one of the oldest and most comprehensive programs of this kind in the Southwest. For more than forty years, this department has made great efforts and committed substantial resources for the teaching of Spanish to Hispanic students from different regions of the United States. This commitment is true today. I hope that after you see the structure and content of our program, you will recognize the multiple opportunities that we offer our students to improve their written and oral expression, allowing them to acquire a renewed pride in the language of their parents and grandparents.

This is a critical moment for the development of the program. We hope that you join us in our efforts to promote our language and culture in the university community. If there is anything I can help you with, don't hesitate to contact me.
