Description

This program features Spanish language, literature and cultural history, and is based at the University of Nebrija in Madrid, a city which has led Spain as the lively crossroads of Iberia since the Golden Age. In conjunction with the Nebrija summer program, faculty-led field trips in Madrid will include the incredible masterpieces of the Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, the Palacio Real, and historical walking tours throughout Madrid's colorful neighborhoods. Full-day excursions are also included to Toledo, with its Muslim, Jewish and Christian traditions that made it a great center of religion and learning; Segovia, with its unique castle; an optional excursion may be added on to Salamanca, a thriving university town since the 15th century.

Students reside in single occupancy rooms with private baths in a modern air-conditioned dormitory in Madrid, convenient to the metro and bus stations. Meals in the cafeteria, linens and laundry service are included, and the dormitory has its own swimming pool.
