Eligibility

Sophomores, juniors and seniors with at least two years of college Spanish or its equivalent. Preference is given to students from ACM campuses with good recommendations from their language instructors.

Credit and grades

Recommended credit is 16 semester hours or the equivalent. Students should consult the campus program advisor or off-campus studies officer for their college’s credit and grading policies for this program. The amount and distribution of credit should be determined in advance.

Academic year program

Students may apply for the entire academic year, since the fall program provides excellent preparation for the spring program, Tropical Field Research, in which students conduct independent research on topics in the social sciences, humanities and natural sciences.
