Fieldtrip to Spain
INTST 497C: Spain: A Cultural Encounter gives students the opportunity of personally getting in
contact with Spain and the Spaniards. To this end, students will spend
ten days (spring break) in Spain where they will be directly exposed
to different aspects of Spanish culture and civilization, as well
as to the people of the country.
Besides the trip, and in order to help students
understand the art, culture, and civilization of Spain, there will
be six class meetings at Penn State Erie before the trip and two more
after the trip. These classes will consist of lectures, discussions
and required readings.
Upon returning from Spain, students will be
required to write a paper on a topic of Spanish civilization.
