Spanish & Latin American Studies

In the Spanish program, students will learn written and spoken communication skills and gain a deep appreciation and understanding for the culture, people, and literature of Spain and Latin America. There is a greater need for Spanish speakers due to stronger ties between the United States and the Spanish-speaking world. The Spanish program encourages internationalization on the campus and also promotes a global focus in the community.

Spanish for Educators

The growing number of Spanish-speakers in the United States has significantly increased the need for teachers and speakers of Spanish. Although some students choose to study Spanish primarily for personal growth and intellectual enrichment, graduates in Spanish have found satisfying careers in teaching, international business, translating and interpreting, personnel work, public relations, business management, social work, government service and other fields.
