Closely resembling Georgia Tech in organization and mission, UPC is a public, technological university with strong, internationally recognized academic and research programs in science and engineering. UPC's campus is within the city, a few minutes away from the heart of Barcelona and its Mediterranean beaches. As in the past, the 2002 Summer Program will offer a set of courses with an interdisciplinary focus and highlighting the transcultural experience. At present, three Computer Science, one Architecture, and two Spanish-language courses are envisioned. Importantly, neither programming experience nor special pre-requisites are required for these courses.
All courses provide academic credit toward graduation.
