Program Structure & Courses

Enroll in 1 or 2 courses during this 4-week session. Each course meets for 45 contact hours/3 credits. If you choose the 1-course option, you’ll earn 3 credits (up to 45 contact hours); if you choose the 2-course option, you’ll earn 6 credits (up to 90 contact hours).  
 
Courses generally meet Monday-Thursday, while active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled in the evenings or on an occasional Friday. 
 
Prior to departure, you will select your preferred courses and take a language placement exam. You will be enrolled into courses based on their availability. Due to course availabilities, it’s in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home university prior to your departure. If you choose to take a Spanish language or elective course, and to ensure you receive credit for the language level you place into, have your home university 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.
