Spanish degrees offer exciting career opportunities

Spanish is spoken in more than 20 countries around the world, and has become the second language of the United States.

A background in Spanish may provide career opportunities in government work, international business, translating and interpreting, teaching and tourism. MSU offers a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish and a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Education with Teacher Certification (P-12) for students interested in the language and culture of the Spanish speaking world.

MSU’s programs provide rigorous training, supplemented by several exciting overseas study opportunities. You may have the opportunity to participate in research being conducted on classroom language acquisition as well as opportunities to engage in culture and language through Hispanic culture, history, literature and film both on campus and in the community. 

The certification program for teacher licensure in Spanish prepares students to be Spanish teachers in secondary settings or in immersion schools. You will have the opportunity to engage in real-life practice and will enter the professional world of education with a strong theoretical background coupled with practical application. Our teacher education candidates complete the multi-faceted program as successful teachers who are competitive frontrunners for Spanish teaching positions. 

MSU also offers a minor in Spanish, which complements degrees in business, government and a variety of degrees in the humanities.
