Recent news reports suggest the Obama administration plans to relax the Cuba travel policies that forced the temporary suspension of our Academic Programs in Havana, Cuba. Together with the Cuba Academic Alliance, CC-CS is actively working to see that this legislation passes. A favorable change to this policy may mean the return of CC-CS to its programmin in Havana. We will share any updates as soon as they become available.
 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.
The Center for Cross-Cultural Study 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.
