Curriculum for the Certificate in Spanish
As American culture becomes increasingly diverse and the Spanish-speaking population grows, the study of Hispanic culture and its language is more and more necessary. The certificate is ideal for students planning for or already in careers in education, government, business, hospitality, management, healthcare, law enforcement, social work, and aviation.
Note: A grade of 'C' or better is required in all the courses for the certificate.
