Spanish

¿Hablas Español? 

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, only surpassed by Chinese. Whether you speak Spanish currently or are interested in learning, a modern languages degree from SFA may be perfect for you! Our Spanish programs offer you the opportunity to learn the language and the culture through classroom education and study abroad programs.

A skill that is "muy popular"

In today’s global climate, fluency in Spanish offers a great advantage in the workplace. Move your resume to the top of the pool of job candidates, as employers actively seek out candidates who speak both English and Spanish: schools, hospitals and large corporations, to name only a few.

A degree in Spanish offers many unique and interesting career paths working with the language. You may choose to enter the Spanish teaching field, or work with medical and legal interpretation, document translation, foreign aid or a host of other opportunities in the U.S. or abroad. In addition to jobs that focus on language, the ability to work in any field with bilingual skills will result in higher salaries and many more job opportunities locally, nationally and abroad.
