Certificate in Spanish and Health
Gain real-world health care experience working with Spanish-speaking populations.
The Spanish and health certificate is designed to equip undergraduate UMass Amherst nursing students with the skills to address the unique health-care needs of Spanish-speaking populations.
To earn your certificate, you’ll complete at least 17 credits in the areas of:
-
Spanish language
-
Cultural diversity in health care
-
Culture and society of the Hispanic world
You will also undertake a two- or three-credit experiential component in which you’ll engage with Spanish-speaking health-care communities either in the United States or abroad.
Offered to current UMass Amherst students in on-site programs, this certificate is beneficial in a variety of career paths, especially for students who expect to work in a Spanish-speaking health-care environment. This includes students studying Spanish, nursing, public health, nutrition, psychology, pre-med, and translation.
