The semester- and year-long study abroad program at Universidad Pablo Olavides (UPO) provides a perfect setting, a modern campus,and plenty to explore and experience outside of the classroom as well, as students study and live in Sevilla , Spain.
Program

The Hispanic Studies Program offers semester-long courses taught both in Spanish and in English in areas such as art, business, economics, history, political science and many others. Spanish language courses are offered at six levels and include classes such as business Spanish, conversation, phonetics, reading & composition and translation. The program also offers courses in English in biology and chemistry (with a lab component) as well as in psychology and medical anthropology.

Spanish language classes have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 16 students per class. All other classes have a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 24 students per class. Classes are held Monday through Thursday with an occasional activity on a Friday. Transcripts are issued by Pablo de Olavide University.

Students who score at the Advanced II level on their Spanish Placement Exam may enroll in up to two regular university courses. If the courses with the Spanish students are conducted in English, this language requirement is waived.

Students on this program typically take an intensive Spanish language course at their skill level and two to three elective/local topics courses taught in either English or Spanish. The program is arranged such that participants enjoy studying and hanging out at a medium-sized Spanish university and interacting with local students, while benefiting from a more quaint and personalized classroom setting in a program designed specifically for study abroad students.
