Overview

The Foreign Languages and Literatures - Hispanic Studies program at the Virginia Wesleyan College will develop proficiency in the Spanish language at a professional level, along with a rich and comprehensive understanding of Hispanic culture, origins and history, and their impact on our nation and the world.

A major in Hispanic studies provides competitive communication skills in Spanish and a strong knowledge base that can support a career in business, education, communications, political science, journalism, criminal justice, law, and many other fields.

Careers

This major primes students for meaningful exchange in an increasingly complex, globalized, transnational, and multicultural world where interaction with non-English speaking people has become not just desirable, but unavoidable and where liberal arts graduates should have a sense of enlightened understanding of, appreciation for, and solidarity with other countries, nations, and peoples.

Students are prepared for careers in education, diplomacy, business, communications, political science, and journalism, and for graduate study.
