Students planning to earn the Spanish minor are strongly encouraged to participate in our Guatemala Study & Serve program. This challenging and exciting cultural immersion experience expedites student development in language proficiency and cultural understanding, while also providing students with 7-9 credit hours of language study, local history, and culture.

I probably wouldn't have made it to where I am without them."
