Study Spanish Abroad in Spain, Argentina, Puerto Rico, or Cuba

Spanish Studies Abroad provides learning experiences in Spanish-speaking countries, focused primarily on North American university-level students. Our history began in Seville, Spain in 1969, where we run the Center for Cross-Cultural Study in the historic, central area of the city.

Since then, we have expanded to other interesting cities including Alicante and Barcelona in Spain and Havana, Cuba; Córdoba, Argentina; and San Juan, Puerto Rico. 

Spanish Studies Abroad has a US headquarters in Amherst, Massachusetts and staff around the continent to work with our university and college partners.

Students choose to study with SSA – in both English and Spanish – to develop language fluency, to experience new cultures and to obtain university credit. For university students, we offer academic years, semesters and short programs of 3 to 4 weeks in January, May and summer months. Most of our students live with local families for a deep immersion in the culture as well as for language fluency.

In addition to our standard academic offerings, Spanish Studies Abroad supports many customized faculty-led learning programs, including faculty-led trips and study tours.
