Special Resources

UMKC has exchange and study agreements with other institutions in many parts of the world. Students have an opportunity to spend a year of study at the University of Seville in Spain or the University of Lyon II in France. Year or semester programs are possible at the University of Klagenfurt in Austria and the University of Veracruz in Xalapa, Mexico. Summer programs are held at the University of Veracruz, Mexico; the University of Granada, Spain; and the University of Lyon II, France.

The department encourages students to travel and study abroad by participating in any of the summer programs sponsored by accredited American universities. It should be noted, however, that the department must approve in advance any courses taken abroad for major or graduate credit. Interested students should contact the appropriate departmental adviser.

Tutoring services for students of French and Spanish are provided free of charge. Conversation hours are also held in the Language Resource Center. First-year language students are encouraged to use the LRC.
