Dr. Joseph A. Klucas is a Professor of Spanish in the Department of Foreign Languages. He received his B.A., M.A. and Ph.D. in Spanish, with a concentration in Brazilian Portuguese, from the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. His area of research and scholarship is Erasmus of Rotterdam and his influence on Renaissance humanists in sixteenth-century Spain and Portugal.
Dr. Klucas developed his fluency in Spanish by participating in family stays in Temuco, Chile, and study abroad programs at the Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City, and the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, Spain. Prior to his arrival at CSUS, he taught for two years as a visiting assistant professor at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa, a four year private Liberal Arts college. At CSUS, in addition to Spanish, he has also taught elementary and intermediate Portuguese.
Dr. Klucas enjoys serving as the first contact person for new freshmen and transfer Spanish majors, guiding students through their Spanish major, and assisting them in planning their study abroad programs. In addition, he administers the Graduate Exam (G-Exam) to all graduating majors and new graduate students. Dr. Klucas currently teaches courses in the area of civilization and culture of Spain, as well as in Spanish conversation and composition. His outside interests include playing classical guitar and Spanish and Latin American folk music.
