Discover Rosario.
The Rosario fall and spring semesters are designed for first through fourth level Spanish language students with academic interests in human rights, business, and the humanities. Business and human rights courses are conducted in English, while language and culture courses are taught in Spanish, and emphasize speaking and writing skills. Each semester during the academic year, a U.S. visiting faculty member from a NCSA institution teaches two specialty courses.
Participants with very little Spanish-speaking experience planning to enroll in the fall program are encouraged to consider an intensive summer session to help build language proficiency.
The five-week summer sessions are language-intensive and offer first through fourth level language instruction in Spanish. In addition to the language instruction there will be a human rights course taught both sessions.
Language and Humanities courses are taught in Spanish. Business and Human Rights are taught in English.
