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. In the United
States alone there are 50 million Spanish speakers from
all regions of Spain and Latin America. 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.
Having Spanish as a second language is a great professional asset in today’s globalized economy that can open
up better career and business opportunities.
Spanish is at the core of a vibrant and diverse cultural heritage as the primary language of 21 countries. Learning
it allows you to access the rich history, art, and culture of
the Spanish speaking world. It is a great ally for travel and
an easy way to communicate and make friends here and
abroad. Whatever your reason for learning or brushing up
on your Spanish, Instituto Cervantes is the right place to
start.
Here you will find the perfect course for your needs:
10-Week Regular
5- Week Intensive

wide-ranging program of cultural activities showcasing the best in literature, film, music, theater, dance, visual arts,
current affairs, and thought from Spain and Latin America. Instituto Cervantes New York is a doorway to the cultures
of the Spanish-speaking world.
You will also have access to the Jorge Luis Borges Library, which hosts one of the largest collections of Spanish-speaking materials in the US. It houses a collection of approximately 100,000 items with books, magazines,
DVDs, CDs, MP3 audiobooks, CD-ROMs, electronic resources, and more. Open to the public, the library provides
services to thousands throughout the United States, both in person and through our online services.
Become a member of Instituto Cervantes New York and join our passion for the language and the cultures of the
Spanish-speaking world.
We look forward to seeing you at Instituto Cervantes.

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.
