Bridging cultures through language proficiency

Columbia College's Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Language & Cultures program dives deep into the language and diverse cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. This program emphasizes the importance of both written and oral language proficiency, broadening your understanding of the various Spanish-speaking cultures across the globe.

Our program starts at the intermediate level (SPAN 201 or higher), fostering your language skills to advanced levels. We encourage our students to immerse themselves further through study abroad experiences or internships in Spanish-speaking countries or communities, especially after their second year of language studies.
