Arcos Online Learning

Arcos Learning Abroad is an extremely organized & impactful organization. Unfortunately, my university did not allow me to to study abroad in person due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Arcos was extremely helpful in me still receiving the planned Spanish credits through their “online learning experiences”. I took 4 courses total online (2 one summer, and 2 the following). While I cannot speak to their in-person study abroad experience because of the events of COVID-19, I can speak to the quality of professors I had with my online professors. Having experienced superb communication & guidance from the organization throughout the online course, I have no doubts that the in-person study abroad programs offer impactful education, and well-rounded, organized, safe, and fun experiences for students outside of class. If you’re seeking the opportunity to earn college level spanish credit or study abroad in a Spanish speaking country, I highly recommend Arcos.

I’m this course, I was able to explore some of my interests that lay outside of my major. The material was engaging and the professor was extremely knowledgeable and kind willing to ensure I understood each topics. Beyond this, having a class with a professor who’s native language was Spanish allowed me to engage with the language in a way I never had before. I truly believe that I advanced in my language skills more in this short time than ever.

Although studying virtually is not ideal for cultural enrichment, I was greatly thankful for the responsiveness and engagement of my professor each day. I spent around 3 hours a day in a call with a break in between my lesson. As my course referred to Mexican Culture and Civilization, my professor always provided plenty of articles, videos, photos, and information about each topic. I appreciated her attentiveness and how she approached teaching Spanish for a non-native speaker. Overall, I would highly recommend Arcos for Learning Abroad for many university students.
