Spanish and Computer Science Major Joint

This program is designed for students who wish to engage in a transitional and cross-linguistic study of Iberian and Latin American literatures and cultures. Courses emphasize critical thinking and close textual analysis, with an emphasis on the deep and often understudied intersections between literature written in Catalan, Portuguese, and Spanish from the medieval period to the present day. The Joint Major provides a unique opportunity to gain mastery in two disciplines: Computer Science and a selected humanities field. Unlike the double major or dual major, the Joint Major emphasizes integration of the two fields through a cohesive, transdisciplinary course of study and integrated capstone experience. The Joint Major not only blends the intellectual traditions of two Stanford departments-it does so in a way that reduces the total unit requirement for each major.
