Because the job market in foreign language education is in a period of expansion, many Spanish majors enter some aspect of education. With language teachers in demand, Spanish majors often study another language, such as French, to be able to teach more than one language. Majors in English can also profit from having a Spanish major. In recent years majors in Business and related areas have been encouraged to pursue a study of Spanish to add another dimension to their qualifications. At UT, Spanish majors wishing to combine their study of language with a study of international business may select a concentration in Language and World Business .
Spanish majors can often find jobs in government agencies.
