Careers

Speaking more than one language can set you apart in today’s global job market. It increases your marketability and opportunities for career advancement and promotion. Multilingual professionals can communicate with a larger population, increase an employer’s competitive edge and contribute to diversity in a workplace. 

Additionally, studying a language and its culture can help you develop empathy and global thinking. It can broaden your perspective and help you cultivate a greater understanding of people and, in turn, the world. The critical skills gained from learning a foreign language are directly applicable to today’s rapidly diversifying world and can be used across all fields and disciplines.

The Spanish BA prepares students for professional roles in several global industries, including

  • business, 
  • education, 
  • government,
  • international relations,
