Post-Baccalaureate Certificate Hispanic Studies

The Department of World Languages and Cultures offers an 18-credit-hour post-baccalaureate program in Hispanic Studies. Specific goals of the certificate program are: 1) to prepare qualified candidates for cross-cultural professions; 2) to enable students to function at a high level of linguistic proficiency in Spanish; and 3) to prepare community college, four-year college or university instructors, who, according to SACS guidelines, must have at least 18 credit hours of graduate credit in Spanish in order to teach Spanish. Courses are taught by faculty with specializations in Hispanic linguistics, film, literature, culture, business, translation, and foreign language pedagogy.
