The ability to understand, speak, read, and write in another language is increasingly important as global interaction expands. The Spanish curriculum includes courses appropriate for a general liberal arts education and for the major in Spanish.
Completion of Spanish courses will assist students in meeting their career, transfer and life-long learning goals and prepare them to interact with Spanish-speaking communities. Additionally, students who complete the Spanish program will gain valuable insights into the process of language learning, empowering them to pursue future language study.

Extra-curricular cultural events enhance student understanding of language and culture.
