Program Structure & Courses
The required Business Consulting course is comprised of both an academic course and a locally based business consulting project that will require you to meet with clients and conduct group work outside of class. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about your assigned company through in-person or virtual meetings and by visiting their facilities/operations, conducting market research, creating relationships, ideating proposals and solutions, all of which will culminate in a consulting proposal.
In addition to your 3-credit business consulting course and project, you'll enroll in up to 4 CEA CAPA courses at the CEA CAPA Seville Center or combine CEA CAPA courses with up to 2 courses at one of our partner institutions: Pablo de Olavide University (UPO), EUSA University Center (EUSA) or University of Seville (USS).
Elective courses at CEA CAPA, EUSA and USS meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. UPO courses meet for 15-75 contact hours/1-5 credits. Overall, you may earn a total of 12-15 semester credits. Elective courses generally meet at various times Monday-Thursday; however required active learning components may be scheduled on Fridays. Please keep this in mind, as you will be expected to prioritize your courses over any personal travel on Fridays.
This versatile program provides you with the opportunity to gain professional experience while also making progress toward your degree requirements and engaging in classes that afford a richer cultural experience.
Prior to departure, you'll select your preferred courses. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability.
