Program Structure
Choose a 4-week term in January or September. You’ll enroll in 1 language course and 1 elective course. Language courses meet for 60 contact hours/4 credits, while elective courses meet for 20 hours/1 credit. You'll earn 5 credits (up to 80 contact hours).
Language and elective courses meet daily, Monday-Friday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled for Fridays.
Before you leave for Alicante, you will select your preferred courses and take a language placement exam. You'll 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 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.
Students receive a transcript from University of Alicante upon completion of their program.
Excursions
Get out and explore! Excursions are offered for most semester, year, and summer programs*.

You'll receive a calendar of excursions during orientation; here are a few day and overnight excursions we've offered in the past.
