The Universities
Seville, Spain
Studying in Seville with CC-CS affords students the opportunity to study
alongside local Spanish students at either of two well-known
universities in Seville - Universidad de Sevilla and Universidad Pablo
de la Olavide. Students generally opt to enroll in integrated courses at
local universities for two reasons:
-
Integrated courses are a great way to experience the Spanish-student lifestyle and meet local Spanish students.
-
Universidad de Sevilla and Universidad Pablo de Olavide offer
a wide range of courses in their many departments, or "facultades." If
you have the Spanish ability and want to take coursework that is not
offered by the Center, enrolling in courses at a university is a great
way to expand the academic-range of your study abroad experience.
However, taking courses at the local universities does
raise some challenges. These courses generally follow a European-lecture
model, which is often very different from the interactive classrooms
U.S. and Canadian students are used to. This means that there is not a
lot of discussion in the classroom and the bulk of your grade is
determined by performance on a few tests or papers.
To help you meet these challenges, all CC-CS students begin
with an Intensive Language Period, taught at the Center by native
Spanish professors. This period is invaluable to helping you gain the
skills necessary to perform in this independent-learning environment.
Plus, the Center in Seville has the resources to help you find tutors
and academic help as you need it.
CC-CS Programs that Offer Integrated Courses:
If you have completed one semester of advanced college Spanish, or the
equivalent, and want to enroll in courses at Universidad de Sevilla or
Universidad Pablo de Olavide, you should enroll in one of the following
programs:
-
Semi-Integrated Spanish Studies with Local Students:
In this program option, you take your core courses at the Center and
enroll in 1-3 courses at a local university alongside Spanish students.
This program option is ideal if you want a "taste" of the Spanish
student experience, but still want to enroll in courses that are
designed specifically for students studying abroad in Spain.
-
Integrated Spanish Studies with Local Students:
In this program option, you take the majority of your courses at
Universidad de Sevilla or Universidad Pablo de Olavide, but still
benefit from language preparation and the guidance and support offered
by the Center.
