The Fine Arts and Communication division is pleased to offer a travel program to Spain! The trip will take place in June of 2022 and is open to anyone--faculty, staff, students, and community members — aged eighteen and over.

Students also have the option of taking English 2327 (American Literature One) in conjunction with the trip! This offering could also work for an honors project.

Participants will visit Madrid, Toledo, Granada, Seville, and Barcelona. Exploring these centers of art, literature, culture, and history will allow travelers to immerse themselves in the rich and multicultural history of Spain.
