  Program Overview

In the Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish (SPAN) at CU Â鶹ӰԺ students study the culture and history of Spanish-speaking countries while gaining fluency in the Spanish language.

Students gain a foundational knowledge of the history and culture of countries in which Spanish is spoken and are prepared for a career in our increasingly globalized world.

Majors learn about the Spanish-speaking world within a multicultural and diverse community.  Graduates enjoy careers in education, public administration, health care, medicine, law, the arts and NGOs, and the degree supports an active secondary teaching certification program, which prepares future Spanish instructors for the growing demand for secondary Spanish teachers.
