Not far from Portugal and less than 125 miles from Madrid, Salamanca is in the center of the old kingdom of Castile, where the Spanish originated. Central to the rest of the Iberian Peninsula, Salamanca is the perfect home base for getting to know Spain and its language. IES offers students the chance to learn Spanish alongside their academic majors this summer. 

Students enroll in a Spanish language course and a one-credit elective about a variety of topics in Spanish history and culture; beginning Spanish speakers will have a vocabulary course instead of the elective. The IES Abroad Center is located in the core of the city near the university campuses and historical sites. This program will help students gain a meaningful cultural experience and a deeper knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.
