Semi-Integrated Spanish Studies with Local Students
Alicante, Spain
Designed for the advanced student that has completed two
semesters of advanced college Spanish. Through this unique program, you
benefit from the best combination of cultural preparation, specially
designed courses, and guided direct enrollment at the Universidad de
Alicante (UA), according to your preparation and academic goals.
Students opting to take this course of study attend a combination of both language
and culture classes alongside other international students, for whom
Spanish is not their first language, and integrated classes alongside
Spanish students through UA's regular course offerings. Integrated
courses are available in many disciplines, including humanities, science
and technology, social sciences, health science, and
education.
Students in this program also benefit from a unique culture
course taught by the Resident Director called Social & Cultural Realities of
Spain. This course allows you to synthesize your immersion experience
from understanding daily life in the homestay to the historic and
sociological foundations of Spain's current social reality.
