In rapidly developing countries in South and Central America, Spanish plays a key role in politics, economics, academics, and everyday life.
In the United States alone, Spanish speakers make up more than 14 percent of the population.
The Summer Intensive Spanish Program helps you become a confident Spanish speaker, fully able to work in bilingual education in California or New York, work with the State Department in Mexico City, help small business owners high above the Peruvian Andes, or study the Moorish-influenced art of the Iberian Peninsula.
