Over 600 million people speak Spanish. In the United States, it is the second language. Spanish is becoming increasingly important and popular in Canada as NAFTA and other commercial links are established with Spain and Latin America. This creates a need for translators, interpreters, and teachers, as Spanish-speaking persons are needed in tourism, finance, management, diplomacy, consulate, and embassy work.
Spanish is an excellent complement to UPEI degrees in Business, Veterinary Medicine, and Environmental Science, and for individuals seeking employment opportunities in the United States, Latin America, and Spain.
UPEI presents the only opportunity in Prince Edward Island for learning this language. This means that most students wishing to study Spanish start with 1000-level courses which require no prior background in the language. Those who have had some contact with the language through exchanges, family background, or travel may enter at a higher level. Students who have taken Spanish at the high school level will write a placement test.
Courses in the 1000 and 2000 levels are chiefly language courses, while courses above these levels focus mainly on cultural studies. Students may complete a seven-course minor in Spanish or a major. In the latter case; however, two of the 14 semester courses must be taken in one of the partner institutions the Modern Languages department has with the University of Salamanca (Spain), Academia de Humanismo Cristiano (Chile), and Universidad de la República (Uruguay).
Major
Under the supervision of the Department, a student is allowed to major in Spanish if the student shows a high level of interest and competency in the subject and intends to cover the minimum requirement of 42 semester hours.
