Study Abroad-Bilbao, Spain

Since 2003, over 250 UMW students have participated in the UMW in Spain program during the summer, for a semester or for the entire academic year. You do not have to be a Spanish major to participate; it is open to all majors. In fact, our course offerings address the needs of many students. Some of our most typical students coming on the program are looking to:

• complete the UMW’s Foreign Language Requirement
• complete their IA major requirement of two courses at the advanced level
• take courses for their Spanish major
• take courses for their Business major
• take courses for their Economics major
• take courses for elective credit
• experience studying in another country
• become more fluent in Spanish
