Our students to explore topics as diverse as the adventures of Don Quixote and Mexican romantic comedies, from the words inscribed in XIXth century independence armies to the virtual words of science-fictional worlds. Students graduate having developed not only strong language skills, but also significant cultural and affective ties to the Hispanic world.An Education for the Real WorldSpanish is one of the most important skills in today’s job market. The exponential growth of the Spanish-speaking population in the United States (1 in 6 people in the 2010 census and expected to grow to 1 in 4 by 2025) has turned Spanish into an essential component of professional life. Medical schools, social work programs, and other programs aimed at helping people look for Spanish speakers to be able to reach our growing Hispanic population. Law firms and accounting services look to the increased patronage of Latino customers in issues such as immigration and taxation. Policy schools recruit Spanish speakers not only to address the growing needs of the US Hispanic population, but also to engage the many countries of origin of the immigrants. Our Spanish major offers students not only the possibility to acquire the language at a very advanced level, but also the tools for achieving the cultural fluency required by employers and graduate programs today.From Proficiency to CultureThe Spanish language program at Washington University is based on one of the most cutting-edge learning systems in the country and students are able to learn the language in a pace 30 to 40 percent faster than in peer institutions. Our Spanish language program, from the basic sequence to the advanced linguistics courses, is an unparalleled opportunity for students to learn the language regardless of their previous experience. But our expertise does not end there. We believe in teaching Spanish in a culturally meaningful way, where the acquisition of the language is seamlessly integrated with the development of a deep understanding of the cultures of Latin America and Spain, both in the classroom and through our study-abroad programs.Careers & OutcomesWhat can you do with a Spanish major?
