Participating students are officially enrolled as Spanish university students with all the privileges that that entails. Students are housed in private homes with full room and board and laundry service. Both single and double situations are available. Attention is given to selecting homes with a family atmosphere, that give the student the opportunity to speak Spanish and to understand Spanish family life. Academic Credit top of page Credits earned are direct rather than transfer credits and participation does not affect the residence requirement.
Participants pay normal tuition fees and housing costs are comparable to on-campus costs.
International airfare is not included, although several group excursions to sites of special interest in Spain are included in the tuition fee. Students who want to participate before their junior year must receive special permission to do so. Students applying from other schools must have an equivalent background in composition, conversation, and an introduction to literature course. A copy of the guidelines concerning these conditions is included along with the application forms. Tutor System top of page Returning students often cite our tutor system as one of the best aspects of the program and one which sets our program apart from others.
