Overview
APU’s Spanish major prepares students to facilitate effective communication with Spanish-speaking audiences. APU offers a comprehensive degree program along with the first private, university-based, California-approved Teacher Credential Program in Spanish. The degree provides a solid foundation in Spanish and Latin American civilization and culture, Spanish literature and poetry, applied linguistics, and Spanish language pedagogy.
These then provide a foundation for advanced study and immersive experience abroad in a Spanish-speaking country. Depending upon their career goals, students may choose between the 45-unit Spanish major and the 88-unit combined Spanish major and Single Subject Teaching Credential. Spanish majors leave APU equipped to communicate in Spanish on an individual and organizational level.
APU also offers a Spanish concentration for liberal studies majors.
