Spanish

Introduction

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