Core Competencies in Spanish Language and Culture

WSU's online Core Competencies in Spanish Language and Culture certificate program is the study of Spanish language and culture from the novice through intermediate language level. The Spanish-speaking world is a diverse cultural landscape covering nationalities from Europe, the Caribbean, Central America, South America, and beyond and is very valuable in today’s global economy.
 

The program leverages ever-expanding technology in online learning developed by one of the leading textbook publishers in the discipline.
