Carmen Ferrero teaches courses on Spanish language, literature and culture. She regularly teaches a course in English for the LinC curriculum on Spain´s literary masterpieces, and she also teaches in the Spanish for Health Professional Certificate Program.

Dr. Ferrero has directed several SOAR and Honors projects, and one of her honor students received a research Fulbright to study at the Universidad Autónoma in Madrid. She has organized and led several study abroad courses in Spain: Monarchs, Heroes and Myths: The Formation of Spain as a Nation, and Introduction to Madrid and Toledo.
Her most recent conference participation was at the XXX Congreso Internacional de Literatura y Estudios Hispánicos, that took place in Seville (Spain), June 2022.
