From the United Nations to the developing economies of South America, Spanish is one of the global languages of business.

Organizations need people who can communicate effectively with the hundreds of millions of Spanish-speakers worldwide. If you have a knack for understanding new cultures — and perhaps a touch of wanderlust — a Spanish Studies degree is a great way to launch your career on an international stage.

We’ve designed the major for both native and non-native speakers of Spanish through a two-track system. You’ll be required to complete an applied learning experience specific to your track.

You’re in luck — the language, cultural and business skills you’ll gain as a major in Spanish Studies  will give you your pick of professional options both in the United States and abroad. Business, government, health care and tourism are just some of the industries you might want to check out.

Specific positions you can pursue include:

• Cultural events coordinator
• FBI agent
• Foreign correspondent
• Health care administrator
• International banking specialist
• International relations specialist
• National security agent
• Translator/interpreter
• Travel agent
