Students who study Spanish will learn one of the most widely-spoken languages in
the world. In addition to learning to understand, speak, read, and write Spanish,
students will gain an understanding of the cultures of the Hispanic peoples of the
world, including the millions who reside in the United States. An associate degree
in Modern Languages gives the student the background needed to transfer to a four-year
college or university. After graduating, language students may find career opportunities
in teaching, travel, broadcasting, translating, law enforcement, international business
or social service. Another area of emphasis available is French.
