Why Study Spanish at RC

The Spanish program is appropriate for students considering careers in fields such as education, translation and interpretation, business, health, social services, media, law and tourism. Students will acquire the Spanish language in a culturally rich environment and will possess the receptive skills (listening and reading) and the productive skills (speaking and writing) necessary to achieve communicative competence in order to pursue more advanced study of Spanish at a four-year institution.

The Spanish program offers a variety of courses that are degree-applicable, help fulfill general education requirements, and lead up to a Spanish transfer degree. For some 4-year degree requirements, two semesters of study in the same World Language are required. Through the teaching of language and culture, the program strives to produce students who can become successful world citizens and will be prepared to face a multicultural society.
