The B.A. in Spanish is part of the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures prepares students to participate in today’s global society. Knowledge of other languages and cultures is an invaluable asset for any career path not to mention a rewarding learning experience. In addition, we also offer the three minors: a minor in languages and cultures, a minor in Spanish, and a minor in Spanish/Latino culture for the health professions.
The flexibility of our programs allows students to relate their linguistic proficiency and cross-cultural understanding within the career of their choice in the natural and social sciences, humanities, nursing business, education and creative arts. Language courses develop communication skills, critical thinking, analytical capabilities, and intercultural awareness applicable to any realm of study and professional field.
