Apply Joining forces to bring Spanish into the classroom
Texas A&M-San Antonio and Instituto Cervantes joined together to sign a Memorandum of Understanding on Monday, October 6, enabling A&M-SA students to learn Spanish and developing a strategic program of special Spanish courses for companies and other community stakeholders. The new partnership will designate A&M-San Antonio as a DELE (Diplomas of Spanish as a Foreign Language) Examination Center. The Instituto Cervantes, founded in 1991, is the largest institution in the world dedicated to teaching Spanish, and partnering with A&M-San Antonio is mutually beneficial, both expanding Cervantes' influence in education and better preparing A&M-SA students to work in the rapidly expanding Spanish speaking world. Read more about the impact of this partnership here and on the Rivard Report.
