Overview
CASA Cuba offers the unique opportunity to study in Havana, Cuba’s capital city. It is fertile ground for academic inquiry into the country’s rich history, the Cuban revolution, and the contemporary challenges across disciplines. You will be able to study in Cuba’s leading institution of higher learning, the University of Havana, and take courses through Casa de Las Américas, the country’s premier research institution of Caribbean and Latin American studies, Cuban culture, and the arts. Learn inside and outside the classroom from academic experts, cultural practitioners, and by engaging with the program’s activities. CASA’s ample network will support you in taking a deep dive into Cuba’s vibrant and very different culture.
