专业介绍
Spanish continues to gain ground as a widely spoken, national and international language, making the ability to communicate effectively in both written and spoken Spanish an invaluable intellectual, social, cultural, and professional resource.

In 25 years, the United States could have more Spanish speakers than any other country.
