All levels of Spanish language are offered in addition to art history and appreciation and political science. Excursions to Granada, Seville, and Cordoba highlight this program. These are usually language programs, each led by a District faculty member who accompanies students and oversees the instructional program. The goal is for students to gain a good grasp of the language at their own level and to come to an understanding of the different culture. Local instructors might teach language classes.
Locations vary from year to year.
In summer 2000 offerings include a month of intensive language study in Barcelona, Spain and Paris, France. Other options are a month of art in Dublin, Ireland or a three-week study tour of the art centers or Europe. The amount varies with the location and individual tastes and spending habits. If you are eligible to enroll at a campus of the Coast District, you are eligible for the study abroad program. For semester programs, you need to have completed 12 units of college credit work with a minimum 2.0 grade point average.
