About Instituto Cervantes Instituto Cervantes is an official organization, created by the government of Spain in 1991, with the mission to promote the Spanish language and the cultures of Spain and all Spanish-speaking countries. It is the worldwide largest organization of its kind that promotes culture and teaches Spanish to non-native speakers, with 90 centers in 43 countries. Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world, with more than 550 million speakers.

We are aware of this especially in New York City, where you are bound to run into someone who speaks Spanish in your day to day.

About The City College of New York The City College of New York was founded by Townsend Harris in 1847 as the Free Academy of the City of New York. It is the first public institution of higher education in New York City and the precursor to CUNY. At a time when higher education in America was limited to children of the wealthy and privileged, CCNY was established to provide children of immigrants and the poor access to free higher education based on academic merit alone. Dr. Horace Webster, its first president, described the college as an experiment dedicated to educating “the children of the whole people.” This has remained CCNY’s unwavering mission ever since. For more than 160 years, the college has offered an ideal learning opportunity for students, providing an affordable world class education in a wide variety of disciplines. Today, more than 15,000 students pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees in the College of Liberal Arts and Science; Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture; School of Education; Grove School of Engineering; Sophie Davis Biomedical Education/CUNY School of Medicine; and the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership. Spitzer, Grove and Sophie Davis/CUNY School of Medicine are the only such public schools in New York City. Bolstered by an outstanding faculty whose research and scholarship is widely applauded, access to excellence remains CCNY’s vision. U.S. News & World Report, Princeton Review and Forbes all rank City College among the best colleges and universities in the United States. In its 2016 rankings, U.S. News placed CCNY among the nation’s “Most Ethnically Diverse” institutions. Other accolades come from the Center for World University Rankings, that has listed CCNY “one of the world’s best institutions of higher education,” and the American Institute of Physics, as “a top producer of physics graduates in the nation.” City College’s distinguished alumni include ten Nobel Laureates with the most recent winner being neuroscientist John O’Keefe, Class of 1963, in 2014. Originally situated at 23rd St. and Lexington Ave. in lower Manhattan, CCNY moved uptown, to its now landmarked neo-Gothic campus in Harlem, in 1907. The college is led by Dr. Lisa S. Coico, who was appointed its 12th President in 2010. She is the first City University of New York graduate to lead the institution. ABOUT THE DIVISION EDUCATION

OF

INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES

AT THE

CENTER

FOR

WORKER

The Division of Interdisciplinary Studies at the Center for Worker Education is the Lower Manhattan campus of the City College of New York. It offers working adults the best of two academic worlds: small classes and personal attention found only at private liberal arts colleges, and the resources of a major worldclass academic institution. We offer two Undergraduate Degree programs (Interdisciplinary Studies and Early Childhood Education) as well as a Master’s Degree program in the Study of the Americas. We also just started offering a dual BA/MA degree, which can be completed in 5 years.
