Career Opportunities

Many professional and vocational opportunities are open to majors in Spanish. In addition to preparing students for graduate studies in Spanish and other academic fields for which the knowledge of Spanish is necessary or useful, the major provides grounding for careers in teaching, translation and interpretation, diplomacy, health, government, law, banking, insurance, journalism, marketing, public relations, and international affairs, among many others. With these possibilities in mind, students are urged to consult their advisors in the department as soon as possible to plan wise choices of appropriate courses.
