The Spanish program at Concordia University Chicago is an excellent starting point for those interested in other cultures, intrigued by the travel and tourism industry, or seeking to break the communication barrier to help those in need.
The CUC Spanish program is diverse and growing. Students enter the program with different language skills, and experiences. Some students begin their studies of Spanish for the first time on campus. Others are native or heritage speakers of Spanish. All bring unique goals and perspectives to the program. Together, our students of Spanish comprise an amazing community. On campus, we have at least one student organization that attracts students of language and culture: the Latino Student Union. We also have a special opportunity to engage in the surrounding community through service learning in local school districts, churches and community centers. There are additional opportunities for mission trips as well as academic study abroad experiences. Deaconess Betsy Dodgers historically led an annual summer mission trip to Guatemala. Our students have studied in Spain and Latin America. We all use our talents, including language skills, to build relationships and strengthen the community here and abroad.
