SPAN 201B - Spanish for Business

Prerequisite, SPAN 102. Spanish for Business give students a basic foundation in vocabulary and discourses related to functional business areas, practice in carrying out typical business transactions, and practice in writing commercial documents. Translations and interpretations are also important parts of this course. The course will provide the student with the necessary skills to function effectively within the Spanish business world in the Unites States, as well as in Spanish speaking countries. The vocabulary and grammar will provide the student with the confidence needed when dealing with different business environments such as banking, management, the modern business office, marketing, finance, and imports-exports. Close attention will be placed on culture, since the business world in Latin America and Spain, works differently from that of the United States. (Offered as needed.) 3 credits
