UA Little Rock Students Have Chance to Study Abroad in Spain This Summer

Undergraduate and graduate students at UA Little Rock are invited to apply for a faculty-led study abroad course this summer in Spain. 

Students in the study abroad course, entitled “Islam and Migration in Modern and Historical Spain,” will travel to Madrid, Toledo, Granada, and Cordoba from May 23 to June 4.

The course will focus on how Islam has influenced Spanish history, culture, and politics, and will brush on modern issues like migration, identity, and religion. No prerequisite courses are necessary for this course, and all students are welcome to apply, regardless of major.

Students can learn more about the trip by viewing the draft itinerary, watching this presentation, and reading last year’s blog about the study abroad trip.

The total cost, including airfare, transportation, hotels, breakfasts, and insurance, totals $3,399. Students must also enroll in the Summer II course and pay tuition for the class. Scholarships are available to students who qualify for financial need.

Applications are due Feb. 17. For more information regarding the course, email Dr. Rebecca Glazier at raglazier@ualr.edu.
