Destinations Study Abroad Destinations and Programs Spelman College does not currently have any of its own semester or year programs overseas except for its true exchanges. Instead, the college uses several major United States Study Abroad programs to fill the needs of Spelman students. Other approved programs are added on an ad hoc basis after the Study Abroad Committee and the Curriculum Committee of the College have examined them. Spelman has a summer program that runs jointly with Morehouse College. Each year there is a month-long summer program in Oaxaca, Mexico which is run by the Spanish departments of the two schools.
Students live with Mexican families and study language in Oaxaca.
In addition, there are joint Atlanta University Center summer programs in Martinique and the Dominican Republic, also lasting one month. More information on these programs is available from the Spelman College Department of Modern Foreign Languages. Spelman College students have participated in Crossroads Africa for many years. This program is run out of the College Minister's Office. Catalogs and other information on both summer study abroad and semester and year programs can be viewed at the Study Abroad Office.
