There are two programs to choose from, each consisting of up to 5 courses per semester: Program A - for Beginner to Intermediate Spanish speakers --3 of the 5 courses taught in English (only prerequisite is 2 semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent) OR Program B - High Intermediate to Advanced (at least 4 semesters of college-level Spanish or equivalent required)

Eligibility: Applicants must have a GPA of 2.75 (4.0 scale) or equivalent to be eligible for the program.

Instruction
You are expected to take a lot of responsibility for organizing your own time and work. Attendance at all classes will be mandatory and monitored by each professor. Periodical exams, homework assignments and final exams will also be administered.

Credit and Credit Transfer
Academic credit and transcripts will be issued by Pablo de Olavide University after the successful completion of course requirements for the semester or academic year program. It is the student's responsibility to contact their academic advisor prior to the semester to determine how the courses taken while abroad will transfer to their home institution.

The program for foreigners is designed to meet the needs of both Spanish majors and those pursuing studies in other fields but with a strong interest in Spain and Latin America. It also caters to the needs of those with little or no background in Spanish by offering classes taught in English both on Spanish culture as well as in the sciences. A placement exam will determine the language level of each student.

Courses: Students may choose from a wide range of courses for up to 15 credit hours per semester.

Course offerings are subject to sufficient enrollment. Students are expected to enroll in 12-15 credit hours per semester and may choose to study for one semester or for the full year. Students with excellent Spanish language skills may enroll in a maximum of two regular university courses per semester. Special arrangements may also be made for groups of 10 or more students with a specific course need.

Back_topParticipant Life:

Students will find ample opportunities to experience the authentic Spanish life both on and off campus.

Activities: The city of Seville provides a wealth of opportunities for extra curricular activities including theater, concerts, and a variety of museums. Its proximity to many places of historic and cultural interest in Southern Spain as well as Portugal and North Africa makes it an excellent base for exploring this region of the world.
