Spanish

Undergraduate Program

Majoring in Spanish at SDSU, a Hispanic-serving Institution (HSI) located close to the U.S.-Mexico border, is a great choice for your future. The ability to effectively communicate in Spanish will open up new vistas for you in an increasingly globalized world. Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world and the second most frequently used language in the American Southwest, including in San Diego. A major in Spanish is increasingly important for careers, public service, travel, reading and recreation. Communicating in Spanish at an advanced level adds to essentially all careers in our region.
