Program Overview
We live in a world where speaking one language sometimes isn’t enough. Today’s professionals need to be able to communicate on a global level. That’s why mastering Spanish could be one of the smartest moves you make.
At NC State, we understand that not all students are alike. Some might want to become teachers, others have their sights set on becoming business executives or architects and want to supplement their skills with a double major or minor with a concentration in Spanish. We can help you find your path and get you started.
