About the Program
Improve your Spanish proficiency in a short period of time at the University of Granada’s esteemed Centro de Lenguas Modernas. Courses are available for all levels of language learners in this summer or short-term program. In the summer, you may choose to add an optional elective course, taught in Spanish, with a focus on Spanish culture, geography, history, or literature of Spain. Language courses focus on listening comprehension, oral expression, grammar, and written expression/comprehension and are designed for your specific level of Spanish proficiency. Explore student life in Granada as you immerse into Spanish culture and hone your language skills. In addition, you can complete a ACTFL Official Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) at the CEA office to prove your language ability, whether it be for future employers or to become a foreign language teacher.

Program Structure
Choose a 4-week session in May, June, July, both May and June, or both June and July. You'll enroll in a Spanish language course at your level. Language courses meet for 80 contact hours/5 credits. You have the opportunity to enroll in an elective course for an additional fee in June and July. Elective courses meet for 10-23 contact hours/1 credit. You may earn 5 credits in May (up to 80 contact hours) and 5-6 credits (up to 103 contact hours) in June or July. If you combine May and June sessions, you may earn 10-11 credits (up to 183 contact hours). If you combine June and July sessions, you may earn up to 10-12 credits (up to 206 contact hours).
Courses meet Monday-Friday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled for Fridays.
Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses. You'll take a language placement exam after you arrive in Granada. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for Spain. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home university on credit pre-approval guidelines.
