Preshco

Preshco (programa de estudios hispanicos en cordoba) is a consortium of liberal arts colleges that provides a program of study at the university of cordoba in spain. The program is open to undergraduate students from the consortium schools (smith college and wellesley college) and to non-consortium students on a space-available basis. The program was founded in 1981 with several objectives in mind: to encourage the intellectual and personal growth that comes from immersion in another culture; to offer an opportunity to enhance acquisition of the spanish language; and to foster knowledge and appreciation of spanish literature, culture, and language through studies in the humanities, the natural and social sciences, and the fine arts. Courses are offered within the Preshco program, and by direct matriculation through the university of cordoba. Preshco maintains an office at the uco and a staff in cordoba, including a full time resident director. The program enrolls approximately 30 - 50 students per semester.
