Bethel College starts Spanish-assisted degree program

At Bethel College, a new program is in it's second semester.

The college started a Spanish-assisted business degree program.

There are 15 students in the adult bachelor program and each segment is seven weeks long.

The program starts out teaching in Spanish and as it progresses, it adds more and more English.

"This program will help them get the qualifications that they need. It will help them learn English along the way and become more proficient in not only speaking English but reading and writing and help the entire community grow and expand in their qualifications," says Toni Pauls, vice president of Adult Studies.

After four years, students will have their Bachelors of Science in Business.
