Spanish Language and Culture

Spanish Language and Culture courses are offered as part of study-abroad programs or as free-standing, “a la carte” experiences for students or adult learners. They are perfect preparation for Spanish Ministry of Education DELE and SIELE certification.

Internship and Service-Learning

Independent Study Projects (ISP)

Internship and Service-Learning, and Research and Creative Independent Study Project placements are offered as part of a study-abroad program or as free-standing experiences. They are designed to be credit-worthy with an integrated academic experiential learning course. Most placements require at least intermediate Spanish language skills, some require a higher level, and a small number are with entities that function in English or with minimal Spanish.

We call our online initiatives the Telemachus Project, launched with success in response to the global pandemic beginning in 2020.
