Major in Spanish

Our Spanish for the Workplace major responds to the need for bilingual professionals and equips students with the language skills that are directly applicable to their chosen careers. The instruction is heavily focused on developing and honing the language abilities. Students' fluency in Spanish is achieved through thorough practice of reading, writing, speaking and listening comprehension of Spanish. Advanced courses in Spanish for Business or Spanish for Healthcare Professionals include a hands-on component, such as direct contact with business professionals through class visits or shadowing medical interpreters at work. The Spanish for the Workplace major includes an internship in a business company or a health-care facility. This 150-hour course, completed abroad or locally, allows students to put to practice the language skills learned in the classroom and apply them to their future profession.
