Spanish Degree Programs

The fun factor of Latino blood and bold flavours of hispanic cooking aside, there’s an entire treasure box of reasons to earn a Spanish degree abroad. Not only is there great flexibility in location and class concentration, but there is the possibility to graduate faster, with less debt. ¡Ay, caramba!

The biggest bonus of studying Spanish abroad is the opportunity for language immersion; perfecting Spanish will be a lot easier when you’re surrounded by native speakers, many of whom will not speak your native language. There’s a lot of value in getting to know the difference between textbook and “street Spanish,” and you’ll be more approachable and marketable if you know how to use your language skills to switch from formal to informal. Start with the difference between “Cómo está Ud.?” and “Qué tal?” and go from there!

While earning your Spanish degree abroad, there will also be unique opportunities to travel on weekends or holidays to neighboring cities and countries. Learning doesn’t begin and end in the place you choose to earn your Spanish degree. Studying and traveling in in the Spanish speaking world will give you a great sense of how expressions, vocabulary, and accents vary from country to country. Even in Spain, there are dozens of regional dialects that, when inspected from the northern extreme to the southern tip, seem almost like a different language.

Ultimately, by living long-term in another country while completing a Spanish degree, you’ll gain invaluable insights about local cultures, reflect upon life in your home country, and create lifelong friendships from all corners of the world. With an international degree in Spanish, you’ll become a competitive candidate when starting your job search or searching for yet another degree program abroad.
