Study Abroad Opportunities

Besides the course offerings at Heidelberg, students can spend a year, a semester or a summer studying at The Center for Cross-Cultural Study in Seville, Spain; Alicante, Spain; or Córdoba, Argentina. Three-week summer and semester-long courses are also offered at the Cemanahuac Educational Community in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

Most 'Berg Spanish students complete their study abroad requirement in Spain, Mexico or Argentina. However, the faculty will work with students interested in other Spanish-speaking destinations to find suitable study abroad programs in those countries as well.

A Student Perspective

"Studying abroad in Sevilla, Spain, proved to be the most meaningful achievement of my life. After a year of studying the Spanish language and culture, I was not only bilingual, but also bicultural." Read Jen's essay about her study abroad experiences.
