Study Abroad in Cuba
Our Spanish Studies Abroad programming in Cuba remains temporarily suspended. U.S. citizen travel to Cuba is allowed only under specific government authority and license; our January 2011 application to return to our Cuba programming is under “active policy review.” Despite the announced policy changes, no study abroad providers have been allowed to operate study abroad programs on the island. While we remain optimistic that we’ll return to Cuba programming in 2013, any programming is contingent upon approval of our application by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement as we continue to seek a return to our Cuba programming.

The city of La Habana, founded in 1514, and named after a local aboriginal chief, is Cuba’s cosmopolitan capital. Havana was once one of the most prosperous ports, and the third most populous city in the Americas. A beautiful city, with idyllic landscapes, captivating bays, and a rich, diverse culture, Havana is the site for an ideal learning experience.
As you explore the streets of Havana, the salsa rhythm and son, the musical genre developed by African slaves, along with the sites, smells, and sounds of Cuban culture, surround you. Walk along the malecón, or ocean seawall, a short distance from the center of the city. The malecón is a common gathering place for Cubans, as well as for students. Visit Finca Vigia, Ernest Hemingway's home, located just outside Havana, where he wrote Islands in The Stream, A Moveable Feast, and The Old Man And The Sea. Expand your knowledge, and experience the blend of African, European, and American cultures that form Havana and Cuba.
Spanish Studies Abroad invites you to experience the island’s thought-provoking contradictions, spirited determination, and stunning, natural beauty.
We invite you to delve into life in Cuba from a cross-cultural perspective, daring to step outside of yourself and experience reality from another point of view. |
