(Outgoing Program)
Advanced Spanish Immersion: Languages and Literatures of Spain
This four-week program will allow students to fully immerse themselves in the beautiful city of Oviedo while studying the languages and literatures of Spain with Professor David Wacks from the University of Oregon’s Spanish Department. Oviedo is located in Spain’s northern green coast at the foot of the Aramo mountains in the region of Asturias. It has a reputation for being one of the safest and cleanest cities in Spain, full of pedestrian streets, sidewalk cafes, markets and cider houses.
Students will enroll in two 300 level Spanish courses taught by Professor Wacks. Both courses can be applied toward the Spanish minor or major at the University of Oregon. Courses will be held at the University of Oviedo campus and will include ample opportunities to explore the course content through field trips to locations in and around Oviedo.
As a complement to the course content, students will live with host families located within walking distance to campus. Host families offer the ideal opportunity to deepen the immersive experience and expand language learning.
GEO program fees cover tuition, housing and some meals, excursions, course materials, and on-site orientation. Insurance and a 24-hour emergency service are also included. For information on scholarship funding, please visit the Scholarships page on our website.
