Summer 2027
Study Abroad Programs
Opportunity + Challenge = Growth²
Step into the culture of Spain and discover how new environments—and the challenges that come with them—can accelerate your growth.
Live with a host family, take daily Spanish classes, and engage in cultural and academic experiences connected to your future goals. From the energy of major cities to the rhythm of rural towns, you’ll experience the contrasts that shape everyday life—and build the confidence to navigate them, even when language feels like a barrier.
Your journey extends beyond Spain, with travel into Portugal that broadens your perspective of the region and deepens your understanding of global cultures.
Open to students of all majors, this program welcomes beginners and experienced learners alike. Students without prior Spanish will complete Spanish 101 in Spring 2027 as preparation.
