Surrounded by Spain's highest mountains and only a short distance from the semitropical Mediterranean Coast, Granada offers access to the entire south of Spain, including the great cities of Seville, Cordoba, Malaga, and Cadiz.
History is alive in Granada and has a direct impact on daily life.
Its university, a legacy of Moorish cultural institutions, continues to offer excellence in higher education, supplying Spain and Europe with eminent men and women of learning. Renaissance and Baroque architecture abounds, and a noble nostalgia permeates the city. Recognizing Spanish as an important international language spoken by more than 300 million people throughout Latin America, Spain, and parts of the United States, this program is specifically designed to help you accelerate your language study. With its emphasis on intensive classroom language study, field exercises, and cultural immersion through a homestay, you quickly learn the language and come to know the people of Granada, gaining entry to their special way of life. In addition to intensive language study, you participate in an interdisciplinary seminar taught by University of Granada professors and other professionals, who introduce you to key aspects of Spanish life and culture.
