Guadalajara Trip Planned in January 2012
Applications are being accepted for the 14th Guadalajara, Mexico Study/Travel Tour, to take place from Jan. 6 through Jan. 26, 2012. The trip is co-sponsored by the Departments of World Languages and Cultures, and Political Science. University of Scranton faculty group leaders are Robert Parsons, Ph.D., and Yamile Silva, Ph.D.
The cost of the trip is $2,350 plus one-credit Intersession
tuition of $919 for the three-credit Spanish course (University discount rate for Intersession
travel courses). The Political Science course is completed in Scranton in the
spring semester and is part of the flat tuition for the spring. The cost
includes all transportation, room and board with a Mexican family, instruction
in both the Spanish language and contemporary Mexican culture and politics at
UNIVA University, and several excursions to places of interest in the
Guadalajara region. A weekend trip to Mexico City is also likely, but will
depend upon the number of students who have signed up and other financial
considerations.
Students earn
six credits, three in Spanish (for Intersession) and three in Political Science (for the Spring
semester). Both courses are taught in Spanish. Current enrollment in or the
completion of Intermediate Spanish is the minimal prerequisite for this course;
however, only very strong current intermediate students, with the
recommendation of their Spanish professor, are accepted into the program. Current
enrollment in or the completion of Spanish Conversation (SPAN 311) or a higher
level Spanish course is strongly recommended.
Applications for the trip can be picked up from Joyce Knott,
World Languages and Cultures secretary, O'Hara Hall, room 301, or by emailing Dr. Silva (silvay2@scranton.edu) or Dr. Parsons (parsonsr1@scranton.edu), who can also
answer any questions you may have.
The deadline for the deposit of $400 is Friday, Oct. 28.Full payment of the balance of $1950 is due Monday, Nov. 21. The
tuition payment will be billed separately by the Bursar's Office.
