Program Overview

In addition to providing skills in understanding, speaking, reading, and writing Spanish, the certificate provides a greater understanding of Spanish culture and civilization and prepares students for greater international and domestic career opportunities. Given the multinational nature of the business world today, fluency in a foreign language, such as Spanish, increases an individual's marketability and value in the areas of banking, consular and junior foreign service, education, import/export business, international business, international relations, medicine, nursing, overseas employment, police work, social security, translating/interpreting services, and social services.
