Q3:  Why the Spanish IEP?

Latin America and the European Community are two of the world's foremost international marketplaces. As we develop stronger ties with our Latin American Neighbors and with Spain and Portugal, the demand for culturally competent professionals able to carry out business in the language will continue to grow. Spanish is the fastest growing and most important language in the United States. With American owned business and industries looking to diversify their workforce, preparing young Hispanic Americans for careers in business and technology has become more important than ever.
