SPAN.CERT - Certificate in Spanish

Certificate in Spanish

The Certificate in Spanish offered through the Dept. of English and Cultural Studies benefits students interested in improving their Spanish skills for personal or professional reasons. The target populations for such a certificate are students who are in intensive programs who want to build their language skills in Spanish. This certificate is geared towards students majoring in Health Sciences, Pharmacy, Criminal Justice, and other public-facing fields. This certificate would also benefit Latinx and Heritage speakers who want to continue refining their language skills but are too advanced for the beginner levels of Spanish. Ultimately, the condensed program would allow students to continue building their Intercultural communication skills and learn about other but are unable to commit to the full 18 credits of the minor.

Students would be required to take 12 credits of Spanish in total (in addition to any pre-requisites) and at least two of these Spanish courses must be at the 300 level.
