SPEA is pleased to be offering a one-of-a-kind Spring Break course (V482) in Havana, Cuba, as part of the

Havana is the capital, largest city and economic heart of Cuba. It is the location of the Cuban Government,
several cultural sites and historically significant locales, as well as many important businesses and institutions.
The city provides a broad spectrum of learning opportunities. Furthermore, visiting Cuba is a unique experience
and especially relevant for comparative policy studies given its proximity to the U.S. and dramatically different
government structure. For more information, check out their
website. Website: http://www.indiana.edu/~spea/spea_abroad/Spring_Break_Abroad_Programs/Cuba/index.sht
