Smith College participates in a study abroad consortium together with the College of Wooster, Oberlin College, Trinity College, Wellesley College, and Wheaton College.
PRESHCO, the Programa de Estudios Hispánicos en Córdoba, has been sending students from the consortium to Spain since 1981. The program is designed to encourage personal and intellectual growth, to improve the student's command of the Spanish language, and to foster knowledge and appreciation of the Spanish culture.
Students live either with carefully chosen families or in dorms with other Spanish students. They attend classes at the University of Córdoba's Facultad de filosofía y letras, housed in an eighteenth-century palace of Córdoba's old quarter. All classes are taught in Spanish by professors from the University of Córdoba and other educational institutions located in the area.
PRESHCO is administered in Córdoba by a Resident Director, an Administrative Assistant, and a Faculty Coordinator. Overall administration of the program is carried out by two Executive Directors and an Executive Committee composed of faculty representatives from the member institutions. The student's personal and educational needs are carefully attended to by the program's faculty and administration. The combination of academic excellence, foreign living, and individual attention creates the opportunity for a personal and educational experience that will be of life-long benefit.
Students who want to study in Cordoba for the Spring 2010 or Spring 2011 semester, Fall 2010 semester, or for the 2010 - 2011 Academic Year, must attend a mandatory information meeting on Wednesday, September 30th at 4 pm in Hatfield 206. Less
