Graduates in Spanish have a variety of career options in both the public and private sectors. Most professionals who deal with the public, such as teachers, law enforcement agents, and social service professionals, benefit from Spanish language knowledge, especially when serving in Spanish speaking communities. Additionally, multi-national corporations increasingly need employees with Spanish language skills to process documents and work as translators. Proficiency in more than one language is becoming an increasingly valuable skill and can greatly enhance occupational possibilities.
