PRESHCO
Programa de Estudios Hispánicos en Córdoba

Additional Learning Opportunties

PRESHCO students may utilize the facilities of the Mateo Inurria and Dionisio Ortiz schools (as space and conventional student class enrollment size permit). A listing of times (including the instructor’s name) in which different media are taught and the number of PRESHCO students that can be accommodated in workshops will be available in the PRESHCO office. As studio-art workshops do not normally carry academic credit (unless special arrangement is made by a student with his or her home institution prior to arrival in Spain), students are able to participate in only those hours of instruction that fit within their academic schedule. PRESHCO sponsors several excursions each semester. Excursions are an important component of the program and are considered part of the global academic undertaking for which students receive home institution credit. The program also hosts tertulias for its students, other Spanish-speaking students and colleagues, and sponsors a variety of lectures, scholarly presentations, and conferences at the Facultad. PRESHCO's Experiential and Service Learning Coordinator works with interested students to seek out volunteer opportunities in the Córdoba area. The Program's Sports Coordinator also assists interested in participating in team sports. Other cultural offerings and learning opportunities include Sevillanas classes, cooking and guitar classes, and compañeros de conversación, which provides for an exchange by which Spanish students and American students are able to practice conversational skills in each language. The program also sponsors a choir of Spanish and U.S. singers that performs at various venues throughout the province and PRESHCO students also enjoy privileges at the sports facilities of the Universidad de Córdoba.
