“I had a very great time taking these UConn courses. They gave me an idea of what a college course would be like and getting college credit at the same is also amazing.”

Andrea Schacht, Instructor, Canton High School, Intermediate Spanish Composition & Spanish Conversation: Cultural topics
“This is my first year as a UConn Spanish 3178 & 3179 UConn ECE Instructor through Canton High School. Intermediate Spanish Composition & Conversation Cultural Topics are the two semester courses that we offer. It has been an amazing gift to offer my students 6 college credits for our course work while immersing them in the language, culture, music, food, film studies, dance, etc. of the Spanish speaking world.”

“The program is amazing. At our school alone, I have seen enrollment almost double over the past two years. The students love the work they are doing and are gratified being able to earn college credit. I can only imagine as to in another two years, how immense UConn ECE will become.”
