Establishment of the Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Studies, Chicago

(9) The chancellor at Chicago, upon the recommendation of the Chicago Senate and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, recommends the establishment of the Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Studies. The Spanish language, spoken by three hundred million people in the world, and Hispanic culture have both gained unprecedented status in the United States due to a rapidly growing Hispanic population. Hispanics now constitute 20 percent of Chicago's inhabitants, the third largest concentration in the United States. Commerce and markets with Latin American countries are developing rapidly, and as the commercial barriers between the United States and Latin America diminish, there is a growing need to study Hispanic culture and language to be prepared for the immediate future. The increase in people competent in Spanish language is accompanied by a demand for programs of advanced study of Spanish and Latin American culture, linguistics, and literature.
