Career Information
Students studying Spanish progress toward being linguistically proficient, multi-literate and culturally competent global citizens. This means that students not only learn language but also how to use that language to become a part of Spanish-speaking communities. Let's meet Cassie, a senior Spanish major at Doane. She's progressed in language abilities, learned about life in other countries through multiple international experiences, and made friends with Spanish-speaking classmates because of being a part of the Spanish program.
Proficiency in Spanish can enhance all aspects of a person’s existence. It broadens the amount of people someone is able to communicate with and have empathy toward. Skills learned in the Spanish program can be used to communicate with and understand people students encounter in professional (academic, work) and personal (family, friends, athletics, arts, etc.) lives. Let's meet Michael, a junior Spanish major at Doane who also plays tennis. He has talked about how he's learned more about his international athletic teammates’ world views because of their shared knowledge of Spanish.
Students in the Spanish program apply their progressing communication skills and intercultural competencies during a semester abroad (for majors), internships, and other experiential learning opportunities. Upon graduation, these skills enable students to amplify any career and many aspects of their personal lives. Recent graduates from the Spanish program have applied their linguistic and cultural skills to their jobs in industries such as health care, banking, counseling, teaching and more.
