The Spanish major serves as excellent preparation for graduate school or for employment as a teacher in either the elementary or secondary school system, especially in those districts where bilingual programs are essential. Outside the education system, students majoring in Spanish find employment as translators and interpreters in social agencies, federal and state courts, the diplomatic corps, law-enforcement agencies and law firms. The business world also provides employment for those fluent in Spanish. This is especially true in the Southwest, with its proximity to Mexico and through new outlets opened by the tri-national NAFTA agreement.
