This upcoming spring, a cohort of Drake students will study at the University of Seville with Drake Professor of Journalism and Mass Communication, Jen Wilson. Students enroll in one Drake course and round out their semester credits taking a variety of courses taught by Spanish and international faculty. University of Seville courses can be pre-approved to count towards your major(s), minor(s), concentration, and/or AOIs.
Drake course offered:
JMC199: Travel Journalism in Spain
AOIs: Written Communication or Global & Cultural Understanding
When studying abroad on DU Spain: Drake Semester in Seville, students are charged Drake tuition and keep their financial aid package, making your experience abroad comparable in cost to staying right here in Des Moines.
