 Return to: Academic Programs
The Spanish major is designed to provide students with a quality undergraduate preparation for careers in teaching, translation, and interpretation while also serving as a useful preparation for graduate study or for careers as missionaries, business administrators, social workers, health care professionals, and journalists. Since bilingual proficiency and multicultural adaptability are an integral part of the Spanish program, students with a major, minor, or concentration in Spanish are encouraged to participate in study-abroad opportunities in Spanish-speaking countries.
