In addition to providing fundamental knowledge of the Spanish language, the Spanish faculty at Mesa State is committed to helping students develop effective communicative skills in Spanish as well as providing an understanding of the relationship between language and its various cultural manifestations.
The faculty members in Spanish at Mesa State College are valued for their expertise and experience. Among their ranks, there is a professional journalist; a federally-certified translator/interpreter; a specialist in linguistics; a specialist in Latin American women writers; and a specialist in Spanish for Secondary Education. The faculty members are professionally active in their fields and routinely research, present, consult, publish and lecture.
After completing our program, students go on to work in business, translation, and teaching, as well as furthering their education in graduate programs.
