Program Information
A Spanish Language Certificate, or an Associate of Arts in Modern Languages with a concentration in Spanish, demonstrates to future employers that you have achieved both oral and written Spanish proficiency and have an understanding of Hispanic cultures. This knowledge is highly beneficial if you pursue international careers or work with Latino populations in the United States.
Our certificate or degree is useful in such diverse fields as the arts, media, entertainment industries, business, journalism, health services, tourism, government, social welfare, public administration, and public education.
