Several times a year, Professor Luis Peralta takes students to the Dominican Republic for a two week Spanish language immersion course. The trips occur in January, March, and  June, and depending on the particular trip will count as either IN-350 (Culture and Civilization of the Hispanic Caribbean) or SP-350 (Cultura y Civilización del Caribe Hispánico); however, special arrangements can be made through Professor Peralta if a student specifically needs a course not being offered for the particular trip.

Applicable for any Spanish major or minor!

The course takes a look at the regional variant of Spanish spoken in the Caribbean and how the native languages and history of the region have shaped the modern-day Spanish spoken there today. Students will also study the culture and the history of the Spanish-speaking countries of the Caribbean.

There is still plenty of room for the January and Summer trips and students who have any interest at all are highly encouraged to consider these opportunities!
