Program Overview
Spanish is one of the 5 most spoken languages in the world, and it is the second most widely spoken language in the United States. The Spanish concentration is designed for students who are interested in Hispanic literatures, linguistics, civilizations, culture, writing, translation, or interpretation. The development of leadership and other skills essential to success in a variety of careers (such as cyber, legal, and a variety of other professions) as well as transferable skills (such as critical thinking, creative problem solving, collaboration) are infused into the curriculum. Students can also work closely with faculty on academic research and complete an internship, as well as participate in Spanish clubs and the Study Abroad and Away programs. Students in this track regularly continue to graduate studies as well as medical, dental, and law school. The program consists of 30 hours of upper-division Spanish classes.
