Study Abroad

Studying abroad is essential for students to become truely proficient in a second language. The Spanish faculty is always eager to assist students in formulating plans for study in the country and program of their choice. We also have a relationship with the Instituto KLAC, a small language school in Cordoba, Spain, where Westminster students enjoy individualized classes and excellent homestays. Most recently other students have studies at various locations in Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. Length of study ranges from one semester to one month. Credit is awarded on a individual basis depending on length of study.
