William Carey students are able study abroad in Seville, Spain, as part of an agreement with Texas Tech University. The Texas Tech Center in Seville is a consortium of schools eligible to send students and faculty to Spain in order to participate in the Texas Tech study abroad program, which includes sessions for Fall and Spring Semesters as well two shorter sessions during the summer. As students of a consortium member, Carey students have the full benefit of the program without having to transfer schools or credits.
Students attend Spanish and History classes at the center, while food and lodging is provided by a Spanish host family. This affords students an opportunity to see how Spaniards live, to practice the language, and to build relationships across cultural lines. Excursions are made by the center to different historical and cultural locations within Andalucía and the Iberian Peninsula including trips to Madrid, Lisbon, Córdoba, Granada, Lagos, Toledo, and Segovia.
