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
The Setting
Alicante University is located in Alicante, Spain and offers a unique setting for living and studying. The city is home to numerous facilities including a museum, an art gallery, and indoor and outdoor sports stadiums. The city is situated on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, and opens travel opportunities to the rest of Europe and North Africa.
