Spanish, A.A.-T

An Associate in Arts in Spanish for Transfer Degree (ADT) will fulfill the requirements for students to transfer to a CSU as a Spanish major. The courses in the ADT in Spanish will provide students with an ability to learn or improve their Spanish as a first or second language so they can communicate successfully with the Spanish-speaking world, and understand and appreciate the Hispanic cultures. Students will be prepared for upper division coursework in the language should they pursue further study upon transfer. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world: as international business and politics demand greater understanding between nations, knowledge of other world languages such as Spanish has become necessary for success.
