Consortia programs:

San Salvador, El Salvador
The El Salvador Today program provides students with an opportunity to experience societal change as a result of negotiated peace after years of civil war. The four-week field program immerses students in the developing Salvadoran culture. Exploration of social and political changes initiated by rapid industrialization and urban growth promotes an understanding and appreciation of the emerging culture in El Salvador. Students attend lectures with Universidad Centroamerican Jose Simeon Canas (UCA) faculty and visit a variety of community agencies, NGOs and service groups.  Students are provided with an assortment of academic resources during the duration of their stay, ranging from hands-on activities with local communities to the learning provided by observations from rural communities, government officials, and local experts.
