Spanish For Dairy and Beef Cattle Industries
This is a unique program focusing on acquiring Spanish skills used in the areas of the dairy and beef cattle industries. This is accomplished by one week of specialized Spanish classes, emphasizing terminology used in these industries, followed by one week of work-studies in different dairy and beef cattle industry businesses in the local area.
This program is combined with cultural immersion through a home-stay program to better understand the culture and mentality and to strengthen labor relations with people of Latin origin.	Texas A&M Vet students
