CEA CAPA’s undergraduate research program includes a personalized research opportunity, an Independent Study Project course and additional elective courses.
The required Independent Study Project (ISP) course is a variable credit course, providing you the flexibility to earn between 1-3 semester credits and has been designed to help you make the most of your research abroad. You will identify the credit option that works best for you during the pre-departure process.
In addition to your ISP course, you will choose 1 CEA CAPA core course and 2-4 CEA CAPA courses to take from the catalog of course options available to you. The ISP course meets 15-45 contact hours/1-3 credits, and core and elective courses meet for 45 contact hours/3 credits. Overall, you may earn 12-15 credits.
The ISP course will meet once weekly for 1 hour each session. Elective courses meet on Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. Active learning components required by your courses may be scheduled for Fridays.
Academic Disciplines & Placement Process
You will be asked to submit a letter of recommendation from your academic advisor or faculty and complete a Research Interest Form that will be used in the initial planning for your research placement. We’ll then identify a local faculty member who will provide oversight and guidance in developing a research plan and a set of research questions relevant to your field of study.
In Seville, the following academic disciplines are available:
You will automatically be enrolled in the Independent Study Project course upon acceptance into the program. 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. It is in your best interest to have multiple alternative courses approved by your home college or university prior to your departure due to course availabilities. To ensure that you receive credit for the language level you place into, we ask that you have your home school pre-approve courses at several levels before you leave for Spain. Please consult with your academic advisor at your home institution on credit pre-approval guidelines.
The following courses have been confirmed for this term. Please note, the host institution reserves the right to cancel or change courses without prior notification.
