Concurrent program options
Students pursuing concurrent degrees (also known as a “double major”) earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.
Accelerated program options
This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and master's degree in as little as five years. It is offered as an accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree with:
- English, MA
Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program.
Global opportunities
Global experience
Studying abroad enhances students' understanding of the diversity of the world and the way in which knowledge of such diversity makes each person a better human being and citizen. Students are able to study in programs that provide immersion into Spanish-speaking cultures with a diverse array of individual and group experiences.
With more than 300 options available, Global Education programs allow students to tailor their educational experience to their unique interests and skills sets. Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences can explore their varied fields and interests in different settings.
The Spanish program offers excellent preparation for graduate school or for employment as a teacher in the elementary or secondary school system, especially in those districts where bilingual programs are integral to the curricula. Outside the education system, students majoring in Spanish find employment as translators and interpreters in:
- diplomatic corps
- federal and state courts
- law enforcement agencies
- law firms
- social agencies
The business world also provides employment for those fluent in Spanish. This is especially true in the American Southwest and through outlets opened by multinational trade agreements.
