IES Abroad Granada – Liberal Arts & Language

With one of the clearest windows into Spain's unique historical symbiosis of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, the IES Abroad curriculum takes full advantage of Andalusia and all southern Spain has to offer, including cultural excursions.

Both Intermediate and Advanced students are required to take a Spanish language course alongside English-taught area studies courses. All majors are welcome to apply.

A fabulous study abroad program for true cultural immersion.
January 07, 2014by: Elena SchallerMy most memorable experience was going to a barbecue with my intercambio and her friends in a village just outside of Granada. It made for a fun-filled day, and was my first taste of cultural immersion. I chose the program based off of reviews from previous students. Everything that I read or heard was so positive and sincere that I had to find out for myself what was so special about this program. I lived with a Spanish host family in a picturesque square located about five minutes from the IES center. My host mother and sister are two of the kindest people that I have ever met. I learned so much from them during our daily meal together. I still write to them both, and hope to see them again someday!
Excellent experience

To study in a foreign country and fully immerse myself in a new and uncharted (for me, at least) culture had been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. I wanted to experience a new life and people and to see more of the world.

I have been studying Spanish from a very young age, so I'd always known I've wanted to go abroad to use my language skills. Learning about other cultures interests me very much, and I was excited to have an opportunity to immerse myself in another culture for an entire semester!

I wanted to go abroad for as long as I remember. I've been studying Spanish since I was seven, and wanted a fully immersive experience to strengthen my grasp on the language, understand another culture, and see other parts of the world.
