Summer 2013 Programs

Aiming to provide students with an education that branches out beyond the walls of our institution, Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) has sponsored overseas learning opportunities since 1973. BMCC Study Abroad Programs expand the students’ educational experience, enhance curricular offerings, as well as support the educational mission of the college. In addition, BMCC Study Abroad Programs foster multicultural awareness and understanding while encouraging the exchange of knowledge and empowering students to succeed within the current framework of global relations, studies, economies, histories, and cultures.

BMCC's Study Abroad in Spain program has been designed for students with a minimum proficiency of at least two semesters of elementary Spanish. The program is based at the University of Oviedo, Asturias. Oviedo, the capital of the principality of Asturias, is a region of ocean and mountains and the centre of an original and unique architectural expression, inheritor of Visigoth, Roman and Nordic traditions. Students will take language, literature, civilization, and culture classes taught by professors from BMCC and from the University of Oviedo. Excursions to historical and cultural places that will enhance the content of the course are part of the experience abroad.
