Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages - Spanish

Lamar University

The Lamar University Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages with a Spanish concentration equips you to deal with the professional demands of many jobs, as you will become a good communicator, trained to think analytically and interact effectively with people. Mastery of a second language is useful in almost any career and may provide a career in itself. Being fluent in another language can help you understand and participate in world events, because it accompanies an immersion in the cultural and historical background of that nation's people. This program provides a unique cultural and academic examination of Spanish language, literary studies and social culture. It could lead you out to any number of careers in the humanities, business, marketing, education and government work. To help with these occupational goals, our department tries to provide paid training for students in areas that they might use for further employment. A Texas teacher certification program is available in coordination with the Department of Curriculum and Instruction.
