Hispanic Studies

For undergraduates, a Hispanic Studies concentration can be an advantage in gaining employment in fields such as teaching, translation, journalism, international business or law, foreign service, and the travel industry. At the graduate level, students can obtain an M.A. in Spanish or a Ph.D. in Modern Foreign Languages.
