Spanish

This program includes four semesters of thorough linguistic and cultural training in Spanish, along with courses that shed light on Mexico’s and the Spanish-speaking world’s role in history, art, the humanities, and our own contemporary society. Spanish is one of the world’s most influential languages and there are opportunities to work in many industries where knowledge of Spanish is considered valuable. Some majors at four-year universities have foreign language requirements that would be satisfied with the language courses in this degree program. Most courses offered in this program meet general education requirements. Successful completion of the transfer degree in Spanish guarantees the student acceptance to a local California State University to pursue a baccalaureate degree with junior status. The AA-T in Spanish requires the following: Complete 60 semester units of CSU degree-applicable courses, earn a minimum overall grade point average of 2.0 in those CSU degree-applicable courses, earn a minimum grade of “C” (or “P”) for each course in the major and general education, and complete the Cal-GETC course pattern.
