Study Abroad Programs

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all in-person study abroad programs for Summers 2020 and 2021 were unfortunately cancelled.

Fortunately, we are resuming these programs in Summer 2022!

On September 29, the Spanish and Portuguese faculty participated in the Fall 2021 Study Abroad Fair, enthusiastically promoting our program offerings.

We are excited to return to offering our five specially designed programs:

UF in Valencia, directed by Lorena Albert-Ferrando

Combining urban life and a relaxed, seaside atmosphere, Valencia is among the most popular destinations on the Mediterranean coast. Students at the beginning and intermediate levels can experience the deep, multicultural roots, cosmopolitan flavor, and warm climate that make Valencia a true Mediterranean gem.

Rio de Janeiro is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city of about eight million people.
