- an experiential learning experience in Mexico
- additional specialized courses
- a field internship offering you the opportunity to work with Latino/a clients and use Spanish at least 30% of the time
Once you complete this certificate program, you'll have the knowledge, skills and linguistic ability to effectively serve Latinos/as and their communities.
