Spanish

The degree program in Spanish is offered through an online collaborative of various University System of Georgia (USG) institutions: Clayton State University, the College of Coastal Georgia, and Valdosta State University. The program is offered primarily at a distance via the Georgia Online Virtual Enterprise Wide (GoView) system. Possible exceptions to fully online delivery would be face-to-face or hybrid classes offered by the consortium members or both other USG institutions.

The purpose of the Bachelor of Arts in Spanish is to produce graduates who are prepared to assume a variety of important roles in Georgia communities. The program provides a foundation of required Major courses, which includes Spanish conversation and composition, language, civilization, Spanish and Latin American literature, and applied Spanish courses for the professions. This approach allows students to develop areas of expertise that best meet the needs of their career paths, including the critical need for Spanish-speaking professionals in business, industry, health care, law enforcement and public service. The program provides a focus on oral communication in professional settings, with opportunities for development of specialized vocabulary, analysis of the language used in professional settings, research in professional areas, and hands-on experiences in the community or abroad. These opportunities prepare students with an understanding of cultural factors affecting communication.
