University of Alicante
The Program
Ouachita offers students the opportunity to live and study in the beautiful country of Spain. Selected students can take Spanish language and culture courses, as well as courses on Spanish cooking, dancing, and some sporting activities.
While especially attractive to Spanish majors or minors, other students may find this a great place to obtain their foreign language requirement, a few electives, and much experience. Selected students may choose to live in a university apartment, or with a Spanish family
