Why Study Spanish?

Studying Spanish - whether toward a Business Certificate, a minor, or a major - can have many benefits:

Connect With Other Cultures
Spanish is the most widely spoken of the Romance Languages and the second most widely spoken language in the world with roughly 329 million native speakers. It is the national language of 20 countries, of which the most populous are Mexico, Spain, Argentina, and Columbia. Learning Spanish will allow you to converse with and better understand people throughout the world.

Learn the United States' Unofficial Second Language
The United States is home to a huge and growing minority of Spanish-speakers. The Spanish you learn in school will come in handy not just abroad but also in many areas of the United States, including Cincinnati. Because of its strong presence in the United States, Spanish is an easy language to practice in day-to-day life.

Gain an Advantage in the Job Market
Thanks to the importance of Spanish in the United States and the world at large, knowledge of Spanish is at a premium throughout the United States' economy. Spanish teachers are in high demand at schools and universities; businesses are eager to hire people with knowledge of Spanish; and Spanish is increasingly valued in fields such as nursing, law, social services, and policing.
