 Study Abroad Granada, Spain

 Granada  Intensive Language and Culture Programs

Students will spend six to eight hours daily in small group sessions (five or less) which serve to improve their skills in the Spanish language while learning the fundamentals of cultural communication in a total immersion environment. Small group classes and discussions will help develop knowledge of their host culture by focusing on geography, history, politics, religion, family and traditions. Students will further enhance their skills in, and understanding of, Spanish language and the subtleties of Hispanic culture by examining ever more specific issues in a wide variety of academic areas.

 Daily Itinerary for three week program.

Experience and research have identified the most important elements of successful study abroad programs. The Spain program incorporates those elements as follows:

• Students take at their level, language and culture courses in Spanish in small groups.  (Appendix A)
• A variety of cultural enrichment and volunteer activities to insure that students receive a complete immersion in all social layers and economic strata of the host cultures.
• Regular and complete progress toward degree requirements
• By virtue of a consortium agreement students will utilize scholarships and financial aid available to them at their home campus.
