As the Latino population increases in the United States, the ability to speak Spanish is becoming an asset if not a necessity in the market place. This need is already occurring in such diverse fields as business, education, health care, law, and social work. In order to better prepare our students to meet this growing need in their future fields, we offer a major and minor in Spanish. While not required, study abroad is strongly encouraged for both our majors and minors to improve language fluency and cultural awareness.
