BILINGUAL PROFESSIONAL

What can you do with this degree?

• Pursuing a Modern Languages degree prepares students for the bilingual reality in which the US is the second largest Spanish Speaking country and is on target to be the largest Spanish speaking country by 2050. With 600 million Spanish Speakers worldwide and over 50 million Spanish Speakers in the US, Spanish is the world’s fourth most spoken language.

• Our program works to make our students culturally competent and proficient in Spanish so as to carry out not only everyday conversations and tasks in the target language, but also we prepare them for the transnational workforce in which they are competitive, problem solvers, and critical thinkers.

• As a bilingual professional, students can expect to get preference on the job market and earn potentially 70 to 80 dollars more per hour over the course of their career.
