THE NW CÁDIZ
PROGRAM IN SPAIN

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 with a private family and attend classes at the University of Cádiz's Facultad de Filosofía y Letras.
