Spanish & Hispanic Studies

Spanish + Environmental Engineering

Hola Spanish Students!

¡Hola Ingenieros Ambientales!

If you're passionate about Spanish language and culture, imagine combining that with a career in environmental engineering—it's a powerful duo!

Studying environmental engineering opens doors to tackle pressing global challenges like climate change and pollution.

As a Spanish major or heritage speaker, your language skills give you a unique advantage in connecting with Spanish-speaking communities affected by environmental issues. You can bridge cultural gaps, advocate for sustainable practices, and collaborate on solutions that benefit diverse populations.

Whether you're exploring rainforests in Latin America or urban sustainability in Spanish-speaking communities across the U.S., your bilingual abilities and cross-cultural competence will be invaluable.

Embrace the intersection of language and environmental science to make a meaningful impact in the world.
