A Spanish major develops student proficiency in the language and an understanding of cultures in Spanish-speaking societies. Students develop advanced language skills in speaking, understanding, writing, and reading, and learn about the history, literature, and cultures of Spanish-speaking countries. Understanding Spanish language and Spanish-speaking cultures offers students many professional opportunities in today’s global society.
Many students choose to double major with Spanish and another discipline, because a Spanish major helps to prepare students for success in a variety of career fields and future endeavors: graduate studies, education, diplomacy, business, social work, public service, law, journalism, and health and mental health professions.
Each summer, College faculty and students partner with the Wood River YMCA to bolster educational outcomes for children in Idaho’s Wood River Valley.

Dr. Jennie Daniels (Spanish) recently published her first book, which examines four different historical novels from Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador, and Chile. The book extends threads of hope, as each of the four authors whose writings are explored in “Anything but Novel” offers the opportunity to address the social issues being brought to light.
The moment I laid eyes on the College campus for a tour, I knew this was where I was going to be spending the next four years. I like the intimate campus community and the student-to-teacher ratio. It felt like a place I could call home. Plus, I chose The College of Idaho because of its flexible curriculum, allowing me to double major, and its excellent financial aid, making college a reality for me without any debt.

One of the moments that stands out the most was when my admission counselor called me and told me I was awarded additional scholarships. I was already accepted into the school and I was given merit and other scholarships, but the only thing holding me back was still money. Before this moment I did not know if I would actually attend due to financial circumstances. This was the moment that I realized that I could attend my number one school because of these scholarships.

I came to the College because I knew the academic opportunities it could provide me. However, my experiences from the start of freshman year to now have shown me that the College can provide even more. Between the chance to perform successful biomedical research, the ability to form meaningful relationships with faculty, unique internship opportunities, and the valuable career guidance I have received, the College exceeded my expectations and given me the possibility to do even more.

I hope that honestly people from Idaho learn not to count themselves out. Because I think I counted myself out for a long time. I want people to know that amazing people are cultivated everywhere, all the time, and it has nothing to do with the prestige of an environment, but with the intent of the people in the environment. And that can certainly be possible in Idaho. And that has certainly been possible for me.
