Spanish Language, Literature & Culture

In today's rapidly changing world, there is intense demand for graduates who understand other cultures and can communicate in more languages than their own. Students who major in languages know that a new language is an open door into very different ways of living and understanding the world. Knowing Spanish, in particular, is a proven workplace advantage and a skill leading to higher salaries. 

Two majors: Spanish for the professions and Spanish language and literature

Connect to the global community and perfect your Spanish skills in a dual-immersion language exchange: face to face online with native speakers in Mexico, South America and Europe. Get involved in Milwaukee's Hispanic community through service learning. Prepare to use Spanish in health- and business-related careers through the Spanish for the professions program.
