Spanish, Bachelor of Arts
Two degree programs are offered in the field of Spanish: the Bachelor of Arts and the Bachelor of Science in Education. The major for each degree program requires thirty hours of study in Spanish. The aim of both programs is the development of communicative competence in the Spanish language, along with knowledge of the history, culture, and civilization of Spanish-speaking people as well as practical, job-related skills in specialized vocabulary and grammatical structures useful in the workplace.
The Bachelor of Arts degree, which also requires a minor field, is usually chosen by students who plan to attend graduate school or seminary or who desire a career in Spanish language translation services.
Students who have already studied Spanish prior to admission to the College may begin their course work in Spanish according to the background and experience they bring to the program in consultation with Spanish faculty.
