Study abroad  Spanish is Northwestern’s only major that requires
a passport, as majors must spend at least one semester in a
Spanish-speaking country.  Latin American Studies Program  The
Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) offers
study abroad programs around the globe, including the Latin
American Studies Program, which is a popular choice for
Northwestern Spanish majors. Participants live with a Costa
Rican family, take classes at the Spanish Language Institute in
San Jose, and attend seminars that explore the many challenges
facing Latin America. The LASP includes a service component and
a 3-week tour of neighboring Central American countries.
Argentina, Guatemala, Mexico or Spain  If you’d prefer studying
in Argentina, Guatemala, Mexico or Spain, that’s easily arranged
through cooperative arrangements with other colleges. You’ll
improve your Spanish language skills, tour the country, and
deepen your understanding of its culture, history and role in
the world today.
