Spanish Studies Abroad provides health insurance for all students. In each program location, a Spanish Studies Abroad staff member is available to accompany the student on medical visits. A copy of the insurance policy is included in students’ acceptance folders. This health insurance is mandatory for all students, whether you have insurance at home or not.
