Students enrolled in these programs can take courses in the IFSA-Butler and IES institutions, as well as enroll in top tier universities.

Important: For students to count courses abroad for their Spanish Major or Minor, they must complete Spanish 301 (or Spanish 302) on campus, and discuss their course selection plan for studying abroad with our Departmental advisors.

Study abroad is not required but strongly recommended. If students go abroad one semester in a program approved by the Spanish Department, they can bring back three advance courses for the completion of their Spanish major.
