One of the things I love about Spelman most is the opportunities it affords its students. The Study Abroad resources, internships, and the alumni network make Spelman the school it is. Its academics prepare you for your desired career field but the connections you are able to make while in school are what set Spelman apart from other colleges and universities. Taking advantage of the numerous opportunities outside of the classroom will make your stay at Spelman worth the cost of tuition..

The environment at a historical Black College/University can not be duplicated in any other environment. The comradery and support that is experienced by students when they join the legacy of this instution is no comparison.
