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.
The 12 week semester program is 9 semester credit hours of spanish plus 6-9 semester credit hours from UHV via internet, for a total of 15-18 semester credit hours.
