St. Clair County Community College 2004-2005 Catalog

SPANISH

Communications Department 810-989-5578

Considering that next to English, Spanish is the most widely-spoken language in the world, and the second language in the United States, the Spanish program is directed to any student who wants to develop the practical skill of communicating in a second language. Spanish should be of a particular interest to anyone planning on going into the field of social work, bilingual education, business, airlines, law enforcement, and travel. The exposure to the Hispanic culture through the study of the language broadens one's value, along with enabling the individual to use the language for personal benefit. Students planning to participate in the Latin American exchange program of the college (see description of Spanish 250) should enroll in the Spanish courses.
