“Overall Linguistic Horizons is a stellar program that is successful in incorporating language use, cultural activities and fun! I left the program near fluent in Spanish, and truly became felt I was apart of the community in Coruña. I would recommend it to everyone, and am thinking about going back myself!”

– Ecco Driscoll, Western Washington University

Program Overview

Study abroad in Spain! This program offers participants the opportunity to substantially improve their Spanish while studying abroad in “off the beaten path” La Coruña, Spain. Choose from a variety of subjects and study alongside Spanish students at the Universidade Da Coruña, in La Coruña, Spain during the academic year.

The majority of courses are taught in the Spanish language. We encourage our students to enroll in these courses for the best results in Spanish language improvement. Some courses are also taught in English for those who do not feel comfortable studying in Spanish.

To help prepare students for the semester in Spain, Spanish courses are available at the beginning of each semester. For those who prefer to focus on studying Spanish prior to beginning the fall semester, we offer Spanish language classes during the summer for all levels.

Additionally, students with at least B1 level, intermediate, Spanish may opt to add an internship to complement their study abroad experience.
