Overview

The Spanish Language and Hispanic Studies program at Eastern Mennonite University fosters personal, spiritual, and professional growth and strong connections between faculty, students, and the community. Native-speaking conversation assistants help each student reach his or her peak proficiency in listening and speaking.

The professors are dedicated to developing students’ language skills and cultural understanding through field trips, cross-culturals to Spain, Guatemala, and Mexico, and interactions with the Hispanic community, nonprofits, and dual-immersion public schools.

Careers

Spanish majors and minors can choose from an array of professional careers, including Spanish teachers, interpreters, and translators. They also can further their study through graduate study. Spanish complements studies in peacebuilding, social work, STEM, nonprofits, and business.

A double major or a minor in Spanish also opens up new possibilities within other fields, including:

Working with nonprofits and immigrant communities (Spanish + Social Work or Sociology)

Teaching in dual immersion programs (Spanish + Education)

Translating, writing, and editing (Spanish + Writing Studies)

Business careers (Spanish + Business/Economics)

Conducting international work for NGOs (Spanish + Peacebuilding or Humanitarian Action or International Development)

Speaking to patients in their native language and conducting a scientific inquiry that reaches migrant communities (Spanish + Nursing or Pre-med or STEM)
