Breaking Barriers: Universidad Santander Pioneers Online Education for Spanish Speakers in the United States
In an era where education is evolving to meet the needs of diverse learners, Universidad Santander (UNISANT) emerges as a trailblazer, breaking down barriers and providing unprecedented opportunities for Spanish speakers in the United States. As the first Mexican university to offer online bachelor’s and master’s degree programs in Spanish, UNISANT embodies flexibility, efficiency, and accessibility, encapsulated in its motivating motto: “My University. My Space. My Time.”
“This is an excellent opportunity for monolingual, Spanish speakers in the US who are limited in personal and professional growth because of language barriers that prevent them from pursuing higher education,” says Chancellor of Universidad Santander USA, Jim Enrique Tolbert.
“Universidad Santander USA would like to help all members of our community achieve their goals and reach their true potential regardless of language. With a degree from Universidad Santander USA, Spanish speaking graduates will be equipped to obtain higher levels of employment in the US or their country of origin. Because degrees are offered online, students can obtain these degrees in the US while considering their options upon graduation including to stay and work in the US or return as a college graduate to their country of origin,” Tolbert stated.
The traditional model of higher education often proves challenging for non-traditional students, balancing work and family commitments. UNISANT’s online delivery system is a game-changer, allowing individuals to pursue academic excellence in the midst of their busy lives. With the motto emphasizing personal control over the educational journey, UNISANT empowers students to navigate their own path, making education accessible to those who may have otherwise struggled to find the time and resources for a degree.
One of the most significant advantages of UNISANT’s programs is their cost-effectiveness. Pursuing a bachelor’s degree can be financially burdensome, but UNISANT provides an affordable alternative for those seeking higher education. This is particularly relevant for immigrants in the United States who may face limitations professionally due to academic constraints, often linked to language barriers.
Immigrants are frequently held back by language limitations, limiting their educational opportunities. UNISANT addresses this by offering online degree programs in Spanish, providing a viable solution to break through these constraints. As education is a key driver of professional success, UNISANT aims to bridge the gap, enabling individuals to overcome language barriers and unlock new career possibilities.
Historically, waves of immigrants to the United States faced limited options for higher education due to language barriers. The second or later generations were typically the ones to pursue college education and fully realize the American Dream. However, UNISANT USA is changing this narrative by making the dream of higher education more accessible to all, irrespective of linguistic challenges.
GoTeach: Bridging the Education Gap for Aspiring Teachers
The United States is grappling with a severe shortage of teachers, with over 35,000 open teaching positions and approximately 200,000 under-credentialed teachers in classrooms. Contributing factors include the retirement of an aging teacher workforce and challenges in recruiting new talent domestically.
UNISANT is actively working to address this shortage through its innovative program, GoTeach. By identifying qualified individuals outside the United States, particularly in countries like India, Nigeria, and the Philippines, UNISANT aims to guide them through the process of becoming certified teachers.
To qualify for the GoTeach program, individuals need to speak English and hold a college degree. UNISANT provides comprehensive support to navigate the certification process, making it accessible for qualified individuals globally.

The GoTeach program facilitates individuals in leveraging the opportunities available for college graduates to pursue teaching positions in the United States by streamlining the H1B visa application process. By expediting the H1B process, the program aims to provide a faster pathway for qualified individuals to contribute their skills and knowledge in the field of education, addressing the demand for qualified teachers in the country. This initiative not only benefits aspiring educators but also supports the education system by ensuring a more efficient recruitment process for passionate and qualified teaching professionals.
USA-CPA: Filling the Accountant Gap for Economic Stability
The United States is facing a critical shortage of accountants, posing a potential threat to the economy. The aging population and a decline in enrollment in accounting programs contribute to this shortage, prompting UNISANT to take action.
UNISANT is addressing the scarcity of accountants by recruiting qualified professionals from Mexico through its USA-CPA program. Mexican accountants are eligible for a TN visa, a category created by NAFTA that facilitates their seamless entry into the U.S. job market.
The USA-CPA program involves recruiting, screening, and assisting Mexican accountants in obtaining their U.S. CPA credentials. UNISANT’s commitment extends to helping these professionals find employment and successfully relocate to the United States. Explore opportunities at www.USA-CPA.com and www.MexusStaffing.com to understand how UNISANT is contributing to the economic stability of the U.S. by ensuring a steady influx of skilled accounting professionals.
“Universidad Santander is not just a university; it’s a catalyst for change. By offering online degree programs in Spanish, UNISANT is tearing down language barriers and providing an affordable, flexible, and accessible education to individuals in the United States” expressed Jim Tolbert. Through innovative initiatives like GoTeach and USA-CPA, UNISANT is actively addressing critical shortages in the education and accounting sectors, contributing to the economic and professional growth of the nation. The future of education is here, and Universidad Santander is leading the way.
