Studying Spanish can be a significant asset to people who want to work in international business, education, law, politics, and more. It can be especially useful for students interested in South and Central America, or those who want to work with Spanish-speaking populations within the United States.

Many degree programs require students to be proficient in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Those who lack these skills can take an undergraduate pathway program where they may acquire a satisfactory English language mastery.
