SPA 471 Advanced Spanish-American Culture Abroad
Like the on-campus courses in Spanish Culture (SPA260) and Spanish American Culture (SPA270), SPA461 and SPA471 will also involve a study of the character and spirit of the Hispanic people as exemplified in selected works of Spanish and Spanish-American literature, articles, art, film, and music. However, these off-campus courses, rather than take a broad-brush historical or continental perspective, will instead provide students with a unique, detailed, thematic focus on a specific region or country of the Spanish-speaking world. In SPA461 and SPA471, special opportunities for experiential learning may include: home-stay living; community-based learning; and numerous site visits to monuments, museums, government institutions and cultural performances. Taught in Spanish.
