English/Foreign Languages
      Spanish

Spanish is widely used in the United States. By taking Spanish at SCC, you will not only learn a beautiful language, but you will be introduced to the culture of the Spanish-speaking world. Think of all the new friends you can make! We offer two full years of Spanish, which is fully transferable and will satisfy your foreign language requirement at all Washington public colleges. The second-year Spanish courses count as a "D" course, or diversity requirement. Native and near-native speakers should enroll in the 200-level classes. If you have studied Spanish previous to attending SCC, talk to us about where you should begin in our curriculum.
