About the Program  At Earlham, we call our program "Spanish and Hispanic Studies" to emphasize our dedication to the teaching of language and the many issues pertaining to the multicultural Hispanic world. Now, in the 21st century, Spanish is spoken by approximately 392 million people in 20 countries around the world, including the United States. In fact, the United States is the fifth largest Spanish-speaking country. Linked by that common language, the Hispanic world is large and varied, encompassing a wide range of cultures in places as diverse as the Caribbean, Mexico, the United States and Spain. In Spanish and Hispanic Studies, we recognize and celebrate the diverse nature of this Hispanic world by teaching the Spanish language and embracing he study of its literatures, cultural expressions, peoples and varied ways of life. The Hispanic world is large and varied, linked by the common language of Spanish and encompassing 20 countries around the globe, and over a third of a billion people.
