Program Overview
The Spanish department offers classes at a variety of levels, from beginner to literature.
There are classes for students of Spanish as a foreign language, as well as classes
specifically designed for native Spanish speakers. In addition to improving students'
linguistic abilities, all courses include discussion of aspects of the culture of
Spanish speakers.
The ability to speak another language is an important advantage in today's world.
In particular, given the demographics in California, knowledge of Spanish is a plus
in many occupations and may be a requirement for certain positions.
