Certificate in Brazilian Portuguese

The Language Certificate Program provides non-majors first-hand knowledge of world languages and cultures. Students may not pursue a certificate for a language in which they major or minor. To earn the certificate, students take two courses in the target language in DLLC study abroad sessions, and two courses on the Newark campus. Spanish language skills are particularly sought after in healthcare, international business, public service and education, and sales and hospitality, allowing you to communicate effectively with clients and partners, facilitate business development and negotiations, and serve diverse communities. Across these fields, Spanish language skills not only increase job opportunities but can also lead to higher salaries. Bilingual employees can earn between 5% to 20% more per hour than monolingual counterparts. Moreover, Spanish fluency demonstrates valuable qualities such as motivation, cultural awareness, and adaptability, which are highly prized by employers in various industries. Enhance these skills by participating in our study abroad programs in Costa Rica, Granada, Spain, Bueonos Aires and more.
