Academic Exchanges in Spain and Latin America

The university offers various opportunities for study in the Spanish-speaking world. Programs in Spain include options through which students can satisfy the foreign language requirement and take courses in conversation and culture for a total of 15 credits. The spring semester Oviedo program is designed for students in the early stages of their major or minor. Students can earn up to 15 credits at the Universidad de Oviedo in such courses as Spanish grammar, civilization, literature, and culture. Engineering students may study in English or Spanish at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia. Students with five or more semesters of Spanish can participate in the exchange with the Universidad San Francisco de Quito in Ecuador. They can also do a semester in the Galapagos (taught in English) as part of this exchange in the social sciences or biology/environmental science. Students may also participate in the summer study abroad program in Salamanca.

One exchange is offered in Mexico. The Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores do Monterrey (ITESM) offers the opportunity to enroll at one of its 29 campuses in regular courses or in courses for foreign students at selected campuses. All of these exchanges offer the opportunity for students to spend a full year or an academic semester abroad.
