Our student-centered curriculum encourages students to use the language in a variety of settings by participating in creative activities.

At AU, our program not only teaches skills in Spanish, but also focuses on improving first language skills. Through understanding grammatical structures and manipulating the language, students improve their overall communication skills.

Many of our students put their knowledge and skills into action through?Travel in May?trips to Spanish-speaking countries, such as Costa Rica and Honduras, or through our growing exchange programs to Barcelona and Madrid.
