The latter in particular has grown rapidly; it provides students with internship opportunities and enhances relationships with the wider community. Our students also have two major options to choose from: the B.A. in Languages and Intercultural Studies Multiple Languages Concentration and the B.A. in Hispanic Studies Concentration in the Languages and Intercultural Studies program. Students can choose to focus their upper-division coursework on Spanish language and/or intensify their knowledge of Hispanic cultures. The program prepares students for working with Spanish-speaking clients, colleagues, and employers in the U.S. and abroad. Finally, we are expanding our programming to include a B.A. in Spanish education and a graduate certificate in Spanish for Healthcare and Social Services Professions.
