This all-in-one semester begins with one month traveling Spain by train, followed by two months in Barcelona where you choose your pathway. You’ll build soft skills (communication, confidence, problem-solving), hard skills (Spanish, digital tools, cooking), and leadership abilities focused on positive impact.
Choose one of three pathways:
- The Internship Pathway offers full-time hands-on experience, real projects, and strong hours for future credit or professional goals.
- The Entrepreneurship Pathway combines a part-time internship with entrepreneurship labs, mentorship, and Spanish classes, ending in a Shark Tank–style pitch.
- The Special Interest Pathway lets you blend part-time internship, volunteering, and classes, or focus fully on volunteering plus Spanish or creative electives.

If you want to explore Spain, improve Spanish, travel sustainably, and gain real-world experience with impact, this semester is for you.
