Foreign languages have long been integral to a liberal arts education, offering insight into different cultures and peoples. Proficiency in a second language, such as Spanish, can provide a competitive advantage in various career fields, including foreign service, finance, law, and industry.

Spanish, as one of the most widely spoken languages globally, is particularly valuable in the United States, where it is commonly used by over 32 million individuals of Hispanic descent. Knowledge of Spanish language and culture can enhance opportunities in education, business, social work, international affairs, and more.

In addition to general Spanish courses, students can explore specialized topics such as Spanish for Business, Spanish for medical purposes, and history and art in Spain and Latin America. The program also offers a concentration in Secondary Education, which includes classes focused on language teaching and leads to certification.
