Overview

When you know Spanish, the number of people you can reach expands dramatically. In many fields, expertise in Spanish and an understanding of Spanish-speaking communities can be a huge advantage. It may even be a prerequisite for success in some careers.

Key Features

The broad curriculum will allow you to read the written works of great Spanish language writers in their original language, immersing yourself in the poetry, rhythms, and spirit of the writing in a way no translation allows.

You’ll benefit from the expertise and commitment of distinguished faculty members who’ve been recognized for the quality of their teaching and research, and who’ve lived, traveled, and taught in many areas of the Spanish-speaking world.

With courses that emphasize the philosophy, richness, and diversity of Hispanic culture and the chance to travel abroad, you’ll not only learn the language, you'll gain an appreciation of and competence for another culture—further breaking down barriers between people and nations.

Careers

The Spanish discipline at University of Minnesota prepares you for a wide variety of potential careers or further advanced study. While an expertise in Spanish is the foundation for jobs in translation, interpretation, and teaching, it can also open doors to careers where knowing Spanish is a key component of the job.

Because Spanish is spoken by so many people, employment opportunities for those with advanced Spanish language skills are numerous. Spanish can give you the upper hand when applying for many positions, as second language competency is an attractive talent to employers. Spanish graduates have taken positions in:

nongovernmental organizations;

nonprofit organizations;

immigrant advocacy groups in U.S.;

international health care;

agriculture and wildlife in Latin America; and

international organizations like the United Way, the Peace Corps, and the Organization of American States.

Many have also gone on to international destinations for jobs or graduate school after graduation, such as in Spain, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Brazil, and Mozambique, among others.

The Spanish program at UMN Morris incorporates a variety of important skills common to liberal arts programs that you’ll develop during the course of study: analysis, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and communications proficiency.
