:: SPANISH SPEAKING PROGRAM ::

WELCOME!

The Spanish Speaking Program was established in 1972 as an initiative to provide access to higher education to Limited English Proficient (LEP) Students. Through this program the students are offered college courses in Spanish during the first two years of their curriculum. Each semester the program offers subjects equivalent to the General Education component. These courses allow the students to make progress in their studies while they acquire the necessary knowledge of English through the English as a Second Language Program (ESL). During the Junior and Senior years the students continue their academic major in English becoming mainstream students.

In addition, the Spanish Speaking Program offers an extensive array of services aimed at improving academic performance.

These are:

• Academic Advisement (day and evening)
• Tutorial Services
• Library Resource Center
• Seminars, group discussions, focus groups, workshops
• Networking
• Planning and implementation of cultural activities
• International academic exchange program
• Faculty advisement to student organizations
• Information Dissemination
• Collaboration with programs and departments in and out of the institution
• National and International Conferences
• Translation services of institutional documents
• Recruitment of students
• Employment outside of the university through Co-op Internships and Apprenticeships.

With more aggresive recruitment efforts currently underway, it is our aim to increase student population and to continue serving the Hispanic community.
