These faculty-designed programs are built on authentic relationships with the people and places of the host countries.

Courses

Put your Spanish to use in 21st-century ways from the very first semester, with project and task-based instruction centered on communicative proficiency and cultural competence in the real world.

Hands-On Learning

You'll have many opportunities to converse socially, meet one-on-one with graduate student tutors, publish your writing, work in the Athens community for credit, and conduct collaborative research with faculty mentors. Even learn to handle 300 year-old books in UGA's Special Collections archives.
