"Transferring to MCLA was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. Being able to learn from and connect with the faculty and staff equipped me with greater networking capabilities/skills and the opportunity to use them outside of the institution, preparing me for the road ahead. Taking part and engaging in different clubs and organizations on campus helped to shape and guide me for countless opportunities."

Why Spanish?

If you speak Spanish, you can communicate with more than 350 million people worldwide. That means that, in terms of employment opportunities, you will have a clear advantage over those who only speak English.  Also, if you plan to travel to a Spanish-speaking country, a little Spanish goes a long way!

Think about it...

1. After English, Spanish is the language most U.S. residents speak;

2. One out of 10 U.S. residents speaks Spanish;

3. The U.S. has the fifth largest population of Spanish speakers in the world;

4. Spanish is spoken in 21 countries world-wide.
