Spanish, Bachelor of Arts
The Bachelor of Arts with a major in Spanish requires thirty hours of study in Spanish. The aim of the program 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, work in a field that regularly encounters native Spanish speakers, or who desire a career in Spanish language translation services.
