Globalization has increased the need for foreign language skills, particularly in California, where there is a large Spanish-speaking population. Allan Hancock College's Spanish program will help you turn your love of the Spanish language and culture into a career.
Knowledge of the Spanish language is in high demand for careers in education, social work, law enforcement, the medical/dental/nursing profession, viticulture, agricultural sciences, global studies, business, and many other careers where contact with the public is required.
Students in this program will gain valuable linguistic skills, as well as historical and cultural insights into the vast diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. In addition to the courses offered, the Spanish program at Hancock offers students an opportunity to engage with the language through the Spanish debate team. The Spanish debate team helps students improve and demonstrate their public speaking, reading, critical thinking, and writing skills.
With an associate degree or certificate students will gain core competencies in Spanish to help them achieve their personal, vocational,
and academic goals.
This program will help you to:
- speak, read, and write in Spanish (using proper grammar)
- improve your listening abilities
- understand Spanish speakers
- organize ideas logically
- develop cultural awareness
