Dual degrees
Two interdisciplinary dual degree pathways allow students to earn two Bachelor of Arts degrees while developing advanced bilingual proficiency in Spanish.

Graduates gain the skills to communicate confidently in Spanish across disciplines and pursue diverse career or graduate study opportunities as bilingual professionals.
