Lewis University's Foreign Language Program stands out regionally and nationally with its distinctive approach, focusing first on developing strong speaking and listening abilities in introductory classes before introducing grammar, reading, and writing components. Students can enhance their learning through affordable study abroad options at various institutions, including Lasallian schools, often at comparable or lower costs than studying at the Romeoville campus.
In today's globalized world, foreign language skills are highly sought after across diverse sectors such as government, corporate environments, educational systems, hospitality industries, religious organizations, and local businesses. Spanish proficiency offers especially significant advantages. The Spanish Language and Culture major equips students with comprehensive linguistic abilities and cultural understanding spanning Spain, Latin America, and U.S. Latino communities, while also offering participation in campus cultural organizations. The program actively promotes study abroad experiences, internships, research projects, and service learning. Spanish fluency opens doors to numerous career paths in finance, education, social services, arts, international affairs, healthcare, and tourism. Combining this major with another field of study expands career prospects and earning potential. The Community Internship capstone option allows students to gain hands-on experience while serving local Latino communities.
