Does the structure of group travel with a Hendrix professor appeal to you? Consider one of our annual Summer Language Programs.
These 4-6-week faculty-led trips partner with institutions in the host country. Student take literature and language classes that earn Hendrix course credit. They also and go on excursions to learn about local history and culture and to practice their language skills outside the classroom. Participants must meet a certain level of proficiency in the target language and must have completed prerequisite courses, set by each faculty trip leader, in order to apply. For further details, contact the trip leader.
Currently the following programs are being offered, in partnership with Hendrix's Office of International Programs:
Twelve Spanish-language students, led by two members of the Spanish faculty, will pursue intensive summer coursework in Spanish language and literature at the Universidad Computense in Spain. On weekends and in the evening, they will explore literary and cultural sites in Madrid and the surrounding countryside. For more information contact Dr. José Vilahomat.
Eight French-language students, led by a French professor, will attend a four-week summer language program at Tours Langues while living in homestay situations with local families. The experience also includes weekend excursions to learn about the culture and history of the area. For more information contact Dr. C. Jellenik.
