Why choose Spanish at North Central College?
Bilingual candidates always appeal to employers and graduate school deans—but true global citizens stand head and shoulders above the rest. And that’s what you’ll become at North Central.
With the help of our dedicated Spanish faculty, small class sizes and our campus resources, like the Roberta I. Myers Language Resource Center, you’ll become a fluent Spanish speaker, reader and writer. You’ll also develop a global perspective by experiencing the cultures of the Spanish-speaking world on campus, in Chicago or in an international setting. You'll be able to choose a destination for a study abroad program in countries such as Costa Rica, Mexio, Peru or Spain.
You can also:
- Improve your language skills by attending weekly language tables where you will converse about social topics, play Spanish games, watch short films and review for exams with other Spanish learners.
- Enrich your cultural understanding by participating in our three Spanish clubs and the Flamenco Festival, Latin Music Festival, Cross-Cultural Poetry Festival, Hispanic Film Festival, and popular culinary workshops.
- Put your language skills to work by volunteering for ministry and service trips to countries like Guatemala or Mexico.
- Earn an English language learning (ELL) minor if you plan to teach abroad after college.
- Engage in study abroad opportunities during D-Term.
