SPANISH STUDIES
Spanish majors should begin the study abroad advising process as early as possible to make study abroad fit into the four-year curriculum. Tell your academic advisor that you are interested in studying abroad at each registration appointment. Together, identify the best terms to go abroad, for summer or semester, based on the courses in your four-year plan. Please ensure you are following the Department of Romance Language and Literature's "Guidelines for Study Abroad."
Specific things to consider:
- To take full advantage of the academic and professional opportunities, consider taking into the advanced sequence of the Spanish language. This will give a firm academic footing for courses/internships pursued within the Spanish-speaking world.
- If you are double majoring, it is critical that you discuss studying abroad with your adviser to ensure the proper time to go overseas for both majors.
- Students can take no more than two courses towards their Spanish major during the summer, and up to three courses towards their Spanish major during the semester.
Search the OEA Course Approval History database to select from more than 3,000 study abroad courses that have already been pre-approved for liberal education requirements and a growing list of technical courses.
The Course Approval History database is not all-inclusive and students can work with an OEA advisor to submit additional courses for review.
Don't forget - CLAS has a list of policies and limitations specifically focused on study abroad. Make sure you're aware of these as you plan your overseas experience.
Due to sequencing, students should work with their academic adviser to determine the best time to study abroad.
The Spanish program encourages full-language immersion to learn and understand a language. Often, field research and internships can help supplement this experience and offer valuable academic, professional, and linguistic skills.
Study abroad opportunities are not limited to formal instruction. Consider taking advantage of the unique research, internship, and fieldwork opportunities available through your study abroad program.

It is important to plan ahead as it is not uncommon for scholarship deadlines to occur much earlier than a ÎÞÂëרÇø or program application deadlines.
There are many scholarships available for students through ÎÞÂëרÇø, our partner programs and other external sources, like the US Government. The OEA can help students with the scholarship search and application process. If a scholarship is found outside of the OEA scholarship page, students should have it reviewed by the OEA to determine if it is a viable option.
It should be noted that the Cadiz semester program offers a scholarship of free housing for homestay option. This is an automatic scholarship for this specific program.
