A bilingual college is a great idea! Seems like there should be more of these. I do wonder how they get the word out that they exist? That 30% was that only 30% of the Hispanic/Latino community in the Chicago area have a degree. This made me wonder how many Hispanic/Latino people are bilingual. I hope that English as a second language courses are available in their programs so the students could become proficient at English which would open even more employment opportunities for them. I see many jobs looking for people who are both Spanish and English speaking in a number of different industries so a program such as this could really be the key to a successful career for many people.
