As Spanish continues to grow as an important professional language, East Stroudsburg University announced it will offer a post baccalaureate certificate in professional Spanish. The 12-credit certificate program will be offered online beginning with the fall 2020 semester.

The Certificate in Professional Spanish offers professionals with bilingual Spanish-English skills the opportunity to deepen their competency in spoken and written Spanish communication in two major sectors, healthcare and business. The coursework also provides further cultural competency via studies of diverse, Spanish-speaking societies and their cultural production. This certificate can be presented to employers as evidence of strong skills in workforce Spanish.

Students who complete the postbaccalaureate certificate in professional Spanish will be able to effectively communicate in conversation and via written documents using standard structures of Spanish; accurately incorporate a wide range of Spanish terminology when speaking or writing about several key sectors, including healthcare, business and other areas relevant to the student’s professional life; and apply the cultural and communicative norms for discourse among Hispanic communities in workplaces involving patients, healthcare providers, vendors and consumers of products and services.
