INTRODUCTION
SPANISH / MAJOR AND MINOR IN SPANISH
The ability to speak Spanish is becoming an asset, if not a necessity, in the marketplace. This
need is already occurring in such diverse fields as business, education, health care, law, and
social work. In order to better prepare students to meet this growing need in their future fields,
