Spanish and Portuguese Studies - University of Washington
  Northwest Cádiz Program


The NW CÁDIZ program offers American students the opportunity to live and study in Cádiz, Spain, for one semester or a full academic year. Administered by the University of Washington, this study-abroad program operates under a formal working agreement with the University of Cádiz. It is the only full-year American study-abroad program located in Cádiz. Students live in a small student residence hall or with a private family, and attend classes at the University of Cádiz's Facultad de Filosofía y Letras. NW CÁDIZ courses are especially designed for the program's students and are taught in Spanish by members of the University of Cádiz faculty.

NW CÁDIZ is operated by the University of Washington. Western Washington University is an affiliated institution. In Cádiz the program is directed by a full-time Resident Director from an American college or university. The Resident Director is assisted by a graduate assistant and by a local faculty coordinator who is also one of the program's instructors. The Northwest Cadiz Program invites applications from students who are currently enrolled at any college or university in the U.S. or Canada.
