Program Description
Spanish is the fourth most spoken language in the world, and it is spoken in Spain, Central America, South America, and parts of the Caribbean, the United States, and the Philippines, to name a few.
WSU's faculty come from a variety of Spanish-speaking countries, including Mexico, Puerto Rico, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, and Costa Rica, many of whom are native speakers of Spanish, and who bring first-hand cultural knowledge and experiences that enhance our program and the learning experiences for our students.
The Spanish Program at WSU provides students with a proficiency-oriented curriculum where they are encouraged to use Spanish from day one. We have courses on culture, film, literature, and various professions, such as medical, business, veterinary medicine, education, and/or law enforcement.
