A space for Mary Baldwin University students and friends interested in studying the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures
Every year students travel with a Spanish faculty member to a Spanish speaking country. While abroad, students experience total immersion in the language and culture: they live with local families, and they attend conversation and culture classes at a host institution. This year's May Term Abroad trip takes place in April-May 2012 in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Students can earn up to six credit hours by enrolling in SPAN 218 and SPAN 150 or SPAN 210. While in Cuernavaca, students learn Spanish in a classroom setting, as well as in their daily interactions with their Mexican host family. This study abroad experience includes cultural workshops and excursions to Mexico City, Puebla, Taxco, and Tepoztlan.
