**Award Type:** Associate in Arts for Transfer

As the world becomes increasingly smaller, knowledge of foreign languages expands in importance. Spanish is a very useful language in education, health, social services, business and other fields where contact with the public takes place. The focus of the program is on language; however, students also gain historical, economic and cultural insights into the Hispanic world.  The Associate in Arts for Transfer in Spanish will prepare students to move into the California State University (CSU) system to pursue a baccalaureate degree.
