As a member of the Consortium for Advanced Studies Abroad (CASA), Brown oversees the administration of the CASA centers in Barcelona, Granada, Havana and works closely with partners in Dublin and Melbourne as well.
The objective of the CASA-Barcelona program is for students to achieve maximum immersion in society and in the local reality.

Students are immersed in the local university environment and take most of their courses at one or more of the program's partner universities.
