Spain (Madrid) - Spanish Language & Literature

Spanish Language and Literature encompasses two college-level undergraduate programs for six credits each (June or July), OR one intensive program for twelve credits (June and July combined). We will experience one of the liveliest cities in the world: Madrid, Spain. We will visit ancient places such as Segovia from the Roman days; Salamanca, one of the oldest universities in Europe; Avila, the medieval world city and more. All participants live with local families. Life with a host family is an integral part of the program, since it provides insights into Spanish culture and a daily opportunity for language practice that is not easily gained in any other way.
