Spanish

general overview

Coker College offers a Spanish major. Knowing more than one language enhances opportunities for employment in government, business, health care, teaching, technology, the military, communications and social service. Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary — it is learning how to function in another culture. A person who knows another language can work successfully with many more people in many more places. An employer will see you as a bridge to new opportunities. No matter what career you choose, if you have learned a second language, you have an advantage. Coker’s foreign language program enables the serious student to attain a useful fluency in a language and a broad understanding of that language’s culture, civilization and literature.
