Languages and Interpretation To prepare students to live and work effectively in a diverse society and participate in the global community, Cochise College offers a variety of language programs to fit the differing needs of students. These include transfer preparation for foreign language majors (AA with emphasis in language), workplace language certificate programs in Spanish and in English, an intensive Spanish immersion program, and comprehensive programs in English as a second language: a day program emphasizing academic English, preparing students for college and university studies and an evening program for people employed during the day. In addition the College offers two programs in interpretation and translation: Spanish/English or American Sign Language (ASL) and English. Options in the Spanish/English program include certificates or an associate of applied science degree with emphasis in either legal or health services. Language and non-language majors can also find introductory courses in linguistics and the structure of language in the course descriptions area of the catalog. The Associate of Arts in Language is designed to provide students with the linguistic foundation in written and spoken language and the lower-division general education coursework necessary for seamless transfer with junior standing to all Arizona universities and virtually all others. To ensure seamless transfer, students must develop their specific program of study in close coordination with a Cochise College advisor. See Spanish Immersion Program (summer) and Workplace Spanish for language certificate offerings.
