This fall, 2019 CofC will be running a program in Trujillo, Spain that includes courses in Communication (COMM 336-Cross-Cultural Communications) and Political Science (POLI Comparative Gender Politics) that count towards the Women’s and Gender Studies major. There is also a Spanish course in this program,.
Specifically, the professors who will be present are:
- Dr. Celeste Lacroix, Communications
- Dr. Kendra Stewart, Political Science
- Dr. Robert Westerfelhaus, Communications
Trujillo is a long-standing CofC program, making the college an important part of the Trujillo community. If you were to be accepted into the program, you’d be matched up with a local host family, most of which have been hosting CofC students for years. Trujillo (considered one of Spain’s “most romantic” villages) is a small, scenic town filled with local, national, and international history! And, equidistant between Madrid and Lisbon, you will be able to easily travel from there to other locations in Spain and in Europe.
Please note that you can use whatever financial aid you qualify for during the academic year to cover the costs of the program and tuition. WGS also has funds available to support student opportunities, including study abroad. More information about these funds can be found on this page. These funds are awarded on a rolling basis and, as such, applications are always open.
