As the world becomes smaller, learning a new language is an excelente way to connect with others at home and abroad.
Learning to communicate in Spanish is an invaluable asset, whether your dream is to teach, lead a major company, or help your community by working in healthcare. Indiana University Kokomo offers a certificate in Spanish and a minor in Spanish, with course topics ranging from Spanish grammar to culture.
Studying at IU Kokomo gives you the opportunity to take your studies outside the classroom on annual international trips to Guatemala and other destinations. You can also share your enthusiasm for the language by joining the Spanish Club, or exploring the programs offered by the Latinos Unidos: Hispanic Center.
Students can earn a certificate in Spanish by completing two years of courses in either Hispanic Culture and Conversation or Oral Spanish for Teachers, along with one more high-level Spanish course.
This degree combines a rigorous program of study that develops language proficiency, cultural fluency, and professional competence in Spanish.

This degree offers a high level of flexibility. Students can complete this degree completely online or they can combine online and traditional face-to-face courses in Spanish.
This minor allows students to place special emphasis on the study of Spanish as a foreign language and culture, with a secondary emphasis on literature. This program can accompany any number of degrees to broaden skills and help make a resume more appealing in our ever-expanding global economy.
