In addition to the BA in Spanish, there are several opportunities for double majors that combine Spanish with another discipline.  For example:

• Anthropology & Missions and Spanish majors have taken jobs working with the Mennonite Central Committee and other NGOs in Latin America.
• Biology and Spanish majors often pursue jobs in medicine or environmental science. Eastern students have interned at Medical Assistance Program (MAP) in Cochabamba, Bolivia in the summer.   This combination easily creates an opportunity for a job in medicine and with the hispanic community.
• Education PK-12 and Spanish majors teach in public and private schools often coupling their Spanish certification and an ESL certification that allows them to work with the burgeoning second language population in U.S. schools.
• Communication Studies and Spanish majors have opportunities in the airline and travel industries, advertising, and Spanish TV and radio. Eastern graduates have taken jobs at T.V. Guide writing content for Spanish-language publications.
• Criminal Justice and Spanish majors are prepared to work with local law enforcement or even federal branches of National Defense.

They may have careers with the government, NGOs, or also in the United Nations.
• Psychology and Spanish majors work in counseling or within law enforcement.  There are also options of working within school districts, testing and counseling students from the Hispanic community.
