These courses are designed for and open only to Advanced Liberal Arts and Liberal Arts program participants. All courses are taught in Spanish and are considered junior or senior level. Students may also enroll in an independent study project under the supervision of a home faculty member. All courses meet two times a week for 90 minutes or three times a week for 45 minutes. Classes are held Monday through Friday.
Instruction is usually in lecture style.
On examinations, instructors expect to find evidence that the student has gone on to further develop the theme that was not fully exhausted in class. Although extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute vitally to the student's overall European experience, attendance in class is paramount. Early departure for or late return from vacations is not allowed. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during the semester break, or upon completion of the program. In most courses students are normally graded on the basis of a mid-term and final examination.
