Overview

Employers are increasingly looking for job candidates with the ability to communicate with Spanish speakers. Bowling Green State University offers its Spanish majors the chance to develop linguistic and cultural competencies for interacting effectively with others in Spanish. Graduates are finding numerous opportunities for careers in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, health and social service professions, international relations, diplomacy and business.

Another common career opportunity for students majoring in Spanish is the teaching profession, and BGSU offers preparation for teaching Spanish at all grade levels. For more information about becoming a teacher, consult the School of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education and Human Development.

Key Features

A special feature of the Spanish program is the highly regarded semester, summer or year-long program in Alcalá de Henares, Spain. The program is one of the oldest U.S. study abroad programs in Spain, and because of our extensive commitments and contacts, remains one of the most affordable.

The Spanish program offers a short-term study abroad opportunity to Mexico. Students benefit both linguistically and culturally from these experiences, and Spanish majors/minors are strongly encouraged to study abroad.

For opportunities to speak Spanish on campus, students can take advantage of conversational, cultural and social events organized by the Spanish Club, La Communidad (a Spanish-language living and learning community located in Conklin) and Sigma Delta Pi, the Spanish honor society.
