Embracing Spanish for the Professions at Home and Abroad

The ESPHA program is a collaborative effort between the Languages and Cultures department and the Communication department to pursue three goals:

1) Improve instruction in interdisciplinary courses in global studies and languages by embedding travel components into an existing course, Race and Ethnicity in Latin America, and a planned course, Spanish-language Media;

2) Provide culturally inclusive, affordable language instructions materials for five Spanish for the Professions courses through an open-access archive, as well as free language proficiency testing;

3) Offer field trips and educational workshops that will further prepare students for diversity in their future workplaces and civic life.
