Learn Spanish Abroad and Receive College Credit

Many students study with Spanish Abroad each year and earn academic credit, which can be applied to fulfill their general study requirements as well as their major in Spanish. The value involved with studying abroad through full immersion can be clearly seen through the quick advancement of a student's language proficiency. The ability to apply this experience towards a tangible achievement such as your undergraduate degree just adds more benefits to our Spanish programs. 

A select amount of our Spanish immersion programs are accredited through Brookhaven College based out of Dallas County Texas. The college is accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. We help our students arrange for registration with the college prior to the departure for their Spanish immersion program and in turn they receive the academic credit by transcript transfer to their home university. 

Some of our most popular Spanish course locations are available for study abroad with academic credit including: Tamarindo, Costa Rica; Antigua, Guatemala; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Cusco, Peru, as well as San Sebastian and Malaga, Spain. You can choose the location of your choice. The program price will be dependent on the cost of the Spanish immersion program for that given location. Full Spanish program prices including courses and accommodations are available at: Spanish Immersion Prices

All students will need to study for a minimum of 3 weeks in order to receive academic credit. You can receive at least 3-4 credits depending on the course in which you would like to apply your program. We have many students taking 12 week programs and earning 14 credits to complete 4 college Spanish courses. We provide long term program discounts on our standard programs  prices so that students can get the best value for these longer stays. The average program cost for the 12 week Spanish course including the college credit and housing can range from $3000-$4000 for many locations. This is far below the typical in-state college tuition and you can easily complete your Spanish credit requirements in less than a semester, while studying abroad in a foreign country. 

I can now only wish I had such opportunities when I was completing my undergrad degree at Arizona State University. It would have made things a lot simpler in completing my course load. I could have easily fit this in to a summer break, and have completed a semester's worth of required Spanish credit courses. Spanish Abroad wants to make this arrangement easy for you so that you can easily obtain the Spanish credit needed to take the best advantage of our Spanish immersion courses.
