Experience Learning Immersed in Spanish Culture

Study Abroad

Live with a Spanish-speaking host family. Maximize your learning experience as you immerse yourself in the Spanish language and culture.

Attend local Hispanic-speaking churches. Serve and worship with fellow Christians in a language, culture, and community outside your own. Witness the beauty of God’s diverse kingdom as you fine-tune your Spanish-speaking skills.
