Saint Peter’s to launch full degree programs taught in Spanish

Beginning August 2025, Saint Peter’s University students will have the option to enroll in the Associate of Science in Business Management and the Master of Business Administration with a concentration in business analytics, both fully offered in Spanish.

The Jersey City-based institution, which celebrated its 25th anniversary as a Hispanic Serving Institution in 2024, is the first college or university in New Jersey to offer full degree programs taught in Spanish. Currently, 41 percent of full-time undergraduates at Saint Peter’s are Hispanic.

“Our Jesuit Catholic mission calls us to serve students who seek opportunities and a gateway to better, purpose-driven lives. This initiative reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation and to meeting the evolving needs of both our current and prospective students,” Hubert Benitez, president of Saint Peter’s University said.

Benitez, a native of Colombia, will teach one of the courses offered in Spanish during the fall semester.

The Associate of Science in Business Management can be completed in as little as two years of full-time study and will provide a strong liberal arts foundation, critical thinking skills and leadership development. The Master of Business Administration is offered 100 percent online and the STEM-designated business analytics concentration equips students with in-demand data analytics and business strategy skills. These programs are the University’s first, with plans to expand bilingual and dual-language degree options at the graduate and undergraduate levels, incorporating instruction in Spanish or a combination of Spanish and English.
